Yes it's 'har-megiddo' in hebrew which means mountain of Megiddo and 'megiddo' means his precious fruit. In latin, it's 'armagedon' because I suppose Romans couldn't spell very well either, and made the 'e' an 'a' and dropped the double 'd'. Later some english translator restored the double 'd'. I suppose in full English annoying translation mode it would be 'Fruit Mountain'. Since nobody straight would be caught dead on a mud called "Fruit Mountain", I don't blame them for sticking with Armegeddon... err Armageddon.
