| Abstract: | Hal-Kirkop (in the Italianate spelling Hal Chircop) is one of the south-eastern villages of Malta, situated about half-way between Zurrieq and Mal-Luqa. The same name, normally spelt Chircop, is a Maltese surname of medium frequency. Although the connection between the toponym and the family-name is evident, the origin of the word has long puzzled local scholars. |
