like Hargeisa , some old dude told me it means little-Harer in hareri ,and the first guy who settle the city place was Somali guy from Harer (i'm not sure about this story though ) ,it more sounds like har or hadh and gaysa = shadow-giver something like that
Muqdisho , it could be from a the Arabic maqcad مقعد and the Persian shah = the seat of the shah((king) ,i think it has something to do with the Sherazis who ruled Muqadisho in middle ages
