Medna (Serbian Cyrillic: Медна) is a settlement in the Mrkonjic Municipality of Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Name
[edit | edit source]There are two theories for the etymology of this settlement. The first is that the Ottomans named it Medina which is of Arabic origin for a Fortified Settlement. Older locals still refer to the place as Medina, the chance of this etymology is highly likely as there was a Castle named Prizrenac in the area before Ottoman arrival. The second theory is that the settlement derives from the Serbo-Croatian word Med (honey).[1]
