KJV - Genesis 50:11

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

When the people living in the land, the Canaanites, saw the sadness at the place called Atad, they thought it was a very bad time for the Egyptians. So, they named it Abelmizraim, which is on the other side of the river Jordan.
