The daughter of Sheikh Edebali is not known by name, as it is not recorded in the historical records. The name Mal Hatun, also known as Rabia Bala Hatun, was given to her after she was married to Osman Gazi. It is interpreted that the name Mal was given later because Osman Gazi fell in love with Bala Hatun after seeing her. The name "Mal" is thought to derive from the Arabic root "Meyl," which means giving your heart, falling in love, and being emotionally attached. Its Turkish equivalent refers to "Jewel Woman," or "wealth" given to her by Osman Gazi. Orhan Gazi’s mother is Mal Hatun (Bala Hatun), the daughter of Sheikh Edebali and the wife of Osman Gazi. According to page 299 of the record on Orhan Gazi’s women, Mal Hatun, a Muslim known as Bala Hatun, was formerly a Byzantine Tekfur (local ruler or noble) and is noted in connection with Mihal, a comrade-in-arms during the reign of Osman Gazi. @SphireSphire
