I don't think it come from maqcad shaah. The Arabic one (Maqdisho) is closer to Muqdisho, and I go along with Zamaronavich's interpretation.Mogadishu (/ˌmɒɡəˈdɪʃuː/; Somali: Muqdisho, popularly حَمَر Xamar ; Arabic: مقديشو Maqadīshū; literally "The Seat of the Shah") is the largest city in Somalia and the nation's capital.
