Thank you Mr. Marinos, I read from your information that you know a lot about Turkish Language, from the information you provided in 'Με βρίσκετε και εδώ'

I am unfamiliar with Turkish and I thought it was related to a flower (rose) !
 
The name had entered English from Turkish lahmacun, pronounced lahmajun, and from Armenian Լահմաջո (lahmajo), both derived from Arabic لحم [بـ]عجين (laḥm [bi-]ʿajīn), meaning "dough [with] meat".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahmacun#cite_note-American_Heritage_Dictionary-18"><span>[</span>16<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahmacun#cite_note-Marks_2010-19"><span>[</span>17<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahmacun#cite_note-Marks1999-11"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a> The names lahmajin and sfiha are often used interchangeably to refer to certain foods.

I am searching for the etymology of 'Μαλαγάνας' in Greek script. After asking for words that originated in Turkish, I think is time to search for words that seem to have originated in Italy (or Spain).​


Thank you very much for your tolerance!

I am not sure why you are searching for it, since it is defined in several online dictionaries, so it is not considered obscure.
Here are also some discussions in this forum you may find useful:

I am searching the etymology of 'malaganas' in order to complete my knowledge, that is why I stated 'Thank you very much for your tolerance'.
Up to now your hints were helpful, and you did NOT were obligated to.
