The city Mumbai which was earlier known as Bombay was changed by the act in Indian parliament back in the year 1997. the reason why Bombay was named as Bombay is a mystery. However it has been pointed out that during the 17th century the British did establish a port settlement adjacent to the harbour. It can be said that the name "Bombay" is an English mispronunciation of the Portuguese term "Bom Bahia" which means "Good Bay".
