Origins

Se ha apuntado como origen del nombre Almegíjar al vocablo árabe al-mahāsir (المحاشر) con el significado de «lugares de reunión»,​​ aunque hay autores a los que no convence esta raíz «por su vocalismo disconforme».​ Parece más adecuada la etimología al-machāsir (المجاشر), palabra típica del dialecto arabigogranadino que significa «los cortijos» y cuya grafía árabe difiere de la anterior tan sólo en un punto diacrítico, omitido con frecuencia en documentos antiguos.​ En ambos casos es aceptable el intercambio vocálico entre las dos últimas sílabas del topónimo.​
