Plevna Park takes its name from the siege of Plevna (in Bulgaria) in 1877 and the street was named around that time. Plevna Street no longer exists, only Plevna Park. “Another fruitful source of names was the Russo-Turkish war of 1877, which indeed caused a district, for a time at any rate, to be named “Turkey". Although Russia was finally successful, Osman Pasha's masterly defence of the Turkish army's entrenched camp at Plevna upset the Russian plan of campaign and retarded their final victory. There are:- Balkan Street, Belgrade Street, Bosnia Street, Plevna Street, Osman Street, Servia Street, and Sultan Street”. "Empire Battle Memories" John J Marshall, Belfast Telegraph - Friday 07 March 1941. Plevna Street featured in the 1880 BSD.
