This is urban legend. Not true. The word mall comes from a 16th-century Italian ball-and-mallet game called pallamaglio (combining palla for "ball" and maglio for "mallet"). The long, flat alley or shaded lawn where the game was played became known as a "mall."

Good old Google 😂 • Pall-Mall: The word comes from pall-mall, a 17th-century croquet-like game played with a wooden ball and a mallet in a shaded alley or walk.
• Promenade: Over time, the name of the alley (pall-mall, then shortened to mall) came to mean any public, tree-lined promenade or shaded walk where people strolled and socialized.
• Shopping Centers: In the mid-20th century, the word was applied to pedestrianized streets with shops, and later to large enclosed or open complexes designed for multiple stores.
