# Meydan

Maidan is an originally Persian word for a town square or public gathering place, adopted by various other languages: Urdu میدان (maidān); Arabic مَيْدَان (maydān); Turkish meydan; Georgian მოედანი (moedani); Bangla ময়দান, meaning field, and Crimean Tatar, from which Ukrainian also borrowed maidan.

Its ultimate source is Proto-Indo-European \*médʰyos – compare Avestan maiδya, Sanskrit मध्य and Latin medius. Various versions include maydan, midan, meydan, majdan, mayadeen and maydān. It also means field (मैदान) in Hindi. It became a loanword in other South Asian languages to give similar means, such as in Tamil in which the word is maidhanam.
