[[File:Satelite image of Malta.jpg|thumb|Satellite image of Malta]]

===Etymology===
From {{bor|en|it|-}} and {{der|en|mt|Malta}}, from {{der|en|ar|مَالِطَا|t=Māliṭā}} etc., from {{der|en|la|Melita}}, from {{der|en|grc|Μελίτη}}, apparently from {{m|grc|μέλι||[[honey]]}} + {{m|grc|-η||[[-a]]: ''[[form]]ing [[feminine]] [[place name]]s''}} although its use for the island of Malta is considered uncertain. Some scholars consider it to represent the importance of the islands' indigenous bees and their output. Others consider it a transcription of {{der|en|phn|𐤌𐤋𐤈|t=[[Grand Harbor]], [[Cospicua]]}}, from {{m|phn|𐤌𐤋𐤈||[[refuge]], [[port]]}}, reapplied first to the island and then, after the Punic Wars, to its Roman seat of government at [[Mdina]]. Note however that {{cog|la|Malta}} is already attested in some medieval manuscripts of the ''{{w|Antonine Itinerary}}''. See [[:w:Main Page|Wikipedia]]'s articles on [[:w:Melite (ancient city)|Melite]] and [[:w:Malta#Etymology|Malta]]. {{doublet|en|Meleda|Mljet}}.
