Galinsoor, also spelled Gelinsoor, is a town in the north-central Mudug region of Somalia.
[edit] Etymology
The town's name is derived from two Somali words: Gelin and Soor. Gelin means either "half of the day", "afternoon" or "before noon"; Soor means "hosting guests". Thus, Galinsoor refers to a place where guests were hosted.
[edit] Location
Galinsoor is located near the border with the central Galgaduud region. It lies between Galkacyo, the capital of the Mudug region, and Galgaduud's Cadaado District.
