Migdal Malhā, the Aramaic name from the Byzantine period, as well as the Crusader name, Turris Salinarum, translate to "Saltworks Tower",[1] as does the Arabic correspondent, Burj al-Malih,[5] either referring to the sea salt production, or the salted fish industry developed there.[1] Malh (Arabic: ملح‎, romanized: milh) means salt.
