Mumbai was previously known as Bombay. The name "Bombay" is believed to have been derived from the Portuguese name "Bombaim," which means "Good Bay." In 1995, the city was officially renamed Mumbai in honor of the local goddess Mumbā Devi. This change reflected a move towards embracing local culture and heritage.
