    Etymology

    [edit]

      Most scholars accept a derivation from Middle Persian 𐭡𐭢𐭣𐭲 (bgdt /⁠bag-dād⁠/, given by god), from Old Persian *Bagadātah; compare Avestan 𐬠𐬀𐬕𐬋-𐬛𐬁𐬙𐬀 (baġō-dāta), Proto-Slavic *Bogъdanъ and Polish Bogdan. Other origins have been suggested, and if the place name can be identified with Akkadian 𒄷𒁕𒁺 (ḫu-da-du; bag-da-du /⁠Ḫudadu; Bagdadu⁠/, literally location characterized with pits, cavities, crevices, deep trenches, or irrigation canals), it may be of much older provenance than Old Persian.
