3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Armageddon
   occurs only in Rev. 16:16 (R.V., "Har-Magedon"), as symbolically
   designating the place where the "battle of that great day of God
   Almighty" (ver. 14) shall be fought. The word properly means the
   "mount of Megiddo." It is the scene of the final conflict
   between Christ and Antichrist. The idea of such a scene was
   suggested by the Old Testament great battle-field, the plain of
   Esdraelon (q.v.).
   

4. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
Armageddon, hill of fruits; mountain of Megiddo
