Muminović (surname)

The surname Muminović is a Bosnian surname. It is a patronymic surname, meaning it is derived from a male ancestor's given name. The name is derived from the Muslim given name "Mumin," meaning "believer" or "faithful" in Arabic. The suffix "-ović" is a common suffix in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin surnames, signifying "son of" or "descendant of." Therefore, Muminović literally translates to "son of Mumin" or "descendant of Mumin." The surname is commonly found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in other countries with a significant Bosnian diaspora population. The Muminović surname, like many Balkan surnames, reflects the region's history and the influence of Islamic culture.
