Forms: 1500s– Bosnian, 1600s 1800s Bosnean.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: proper name Bosnia , -an suffix.
Etymology: < Bosnia, the name of a country in south-eastern Europe ( < post-classical Latin Bosnia : see below) + -an suffix (compare -ian suffix), originally after Middle French, French Bosnien, noun (1542 or earlier) and adjective (1608 or earlier). With use as noun compare Bosnian Bošnjanin (15th cent.), Bosanac (early 19th cent.) inhabitant of Bosnia. Compare later Bosniak n.Post-classical Latin Bosnia is probably ultimately < the name of the river Bosna ; compare post-classical Latin Bossina , name of the river (attested in an undated inscription), and Byzantine Greek Βόσονα , name of the country (10th cent.).

A. n.
1. A native or inhabitant of Bosnia, a country in south-eastern Europe; a person of Bosnian descent. In later use also: a native or inhabitant of Bosnia and Herzegovina.The precise boundaries have varied in different periods. Bosnia came under Ottoman rule in the mid 15th cent., and was loosely united with Herzegovina thereafter, remaining under Ottoman control until its occupation by Austria-Hungary in 1878. In 1918 the province was absorbed into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). The break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991 led to the proclamation of the independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the end of the Wars of Yugoslav Succession (1991–5), Bosnia and Herzegovina was confirmed as an independent, federalized state.
