“Bombay” is an older name for the city of Mumbai, which is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The name “Bombay” is derived from the Portuguese name “Bombaim,” which means “good bay.” Today, Mumbai is known as one of India’s largest cities and a major financial, commercial, and entertainment hub. The name Bombay is still used in some contexts, particularly in historical references and in the names of certain institutions.
