Mevluda is an attested Bosniak feminine name that arrived through Ottoman Turkish borrowing from Arabic mawlid (mawlid), the term for 'birth' and specifically the Prophet's birth commemoration. As a personal name it has been used sparingly in Bosnia and Herzegovina among Muslim families with Ottoman-influenced naming practices; the sense is often 'born at or associated with the mawlid (birth celebration)'. It is not a Qur'anic personal name but carries devotional and historical resonance within Bosniak cultural history. For comparative forms and related Ottoman-influenced names see [[Mevlud]] and the honorific-rooted [[Mevlana]].
