Byculla - A rich Marathi person known as ‘Bhai’ owned a huge warehouse which is called as ‘Khala (L sounds like D in Marathi), Bhai cha Khala became Byculla.
About Cotton Green: During the times of the EAST INDIA COMPANY, there used to be a huge empty plot of land in front of Town Hall (Asiatic Society), where Horniman Circle lies today. That was where cotton from Vidharba used to be procured and shipped over to Europe. That area what we now know as Horniman Circle was called Bombay Green. Eventually, this area was named Cotton Green. In the 1840s this market was shifted to Colaba, thereby changing the location of Cotton Green too! Eventually, when the Harbour Line commenced operations, they moved it to the current location and eventually that gave its name.
green come from Girni which is marathi word for mill :P
Ohh. This was really very informative.
this makes more sense actually😂
This lady has not done good research before making videos
GiraNi is Kannada word for mill too.
Today's Apolo Bandar ( The port where Gateway of India is standing) was once locally called as Palwa bandar (Palwa is fish) that Palwa turned in Polo by Portuguese, and then Apolo by Britishers. Thus Palwa Bandar (Bandar means Port in marathi not monkey) turned in Apolo Bandar.
Byculla & Cotton Green are so, so wrong.
There was no 'King Byculla'. It either comes from the 'bhaya' trees that grew on plains 'khala' here, or that there was a threshing mill 'khala', owned by a man named Bhaya.
Cotton Green doesn't mean cotton mills or green grass - but a cotton exchange on meadows near Badhwar Park that was shifted to near the Cotton Green station in a green-painted building.

Reddit, Quora aur ab TH-cam. Bhai tu sab jagah dhundta rehta h kya "How Mumbai places got their names" wale posts? /s
Nicely presented and very sweet anchor but I feel it was not well researched.
Had the British found it difficult to pronounce the word SHOR, they wouldn't use another Hindi word CHOR for that.
CHOR BAZAAR was indeed a Bazaar where stolen goods were disposed of at ridiculously low prices.
BANDRA is derived from the local name Vaandre and not Bunder (port)
Vandre is Marathi way of saying Bander, Bander is an arabic word for port commonly used by traders who used to bring their goods from Arabic contries. Also Clearly britishers used to find shor and chor tongue twisting and were more comfortable with a more used word that is Chor.
I've another interesting story. There were a lot of monkeys in bandra so vanar become vandra and then vandre, bandar in hindi so it became baandra and in english bandra.
"Kurla"
का सही नाम कुर्ली.
Which means "Crab's"
It doesn't means crab. It's a name of a crab. Language:'East Indian language' of the original inhabitants of Mumbai
@@TivenGonsalves same in Konkani but we call it Kurlyo
Masjid station gets its name from a Jewish synagogue and not a mosque
Loved it...this helps understanding our own pop culture
Hey, thanks so much for sharing this beautiful and knowledgeable information about the names of the different places of mumbai. It is really very interesting.
Hanging garden is built over water tanks....so it's hanging garden
Thanks. You did my part of the commenting
I liked how u made the story. Very refreshing
There were seven bungalows here decades ago and hence the name. Exactly for four bungalows.
Thanks to this video...in this video I learned a lot about mumbai city and its name...
Thank you for this video!! Loved the intro so much.
First video from Quint that I actually like..!
You overlooked the most important one. That of BOMBAY. The Britishers called it Bombay. But it has now been rechristened to its original name, MUMBAI. This is because of MUMBA DEVI the presiding Devi of the region. Ask any business man and you will know that.
how was "Bombay" named so?
I think it's just a coincidence since Portuguese called it 'Bom Bay' as good bay
Matunga have its own story, there was once huge number of Elephant called Mateng by local people found in Matunga, which was turned by Britisher as the area of Matunga, and then we have now Matunga
Fantastic 👍 I like the presentation given by girl
Here it is how Mumbai got its name: " Many fishing families were living in the suburbs of the modern city of Bombay. These fishing families were the old inhabitants of the city before it became Bombay. Their traditional deity was the goddess Mumbávatii. Vatii becomes bai in Maháráśt́rii Prákrta, so accordingly Mumbávatii became Mumbábai and, with the passage of time, Mumbái. The word mumbái has been common in both Marathi and Gujarati since that time and remains so. The British turned this Mumbái into Bombay and this “Bombay” became Bombái in Hindi and Bengali.... Recently the government of Maharashtra has changed the name Bombái to Mumbái. This is a praiseworthy action." - Shrii PR Sarkar
thanks a lot didi pls make part 2 😘
Kala ghoda area is called as Kala Ghoda because of Prince of Wales. Yes, when he have firstly visited Mumbai, on his honour, his statue with a horse in black metal had been placed, though people started calling it Kala Ghoda!
Pydhonie because people used to wash feet at pond before entering the masjid and Jain temple
There's a true anecdote about Holc Larsen, one of the founders of Larsen & Tubro. He was driving & got lost in Pydhonie during the Quit India movement. Just at that time a morcha passed him and an independence activist mistook him for a Britisher and yelled at him to "quit India". Larsen replied, "Gladly, if you help me quit Pydhonie first"
Thanks for this wonderful information...I always think of this names ...some are still I want to know...
Nice presentation dear Deeksha..I was not bored during entire episode
Wow
What a video.
And the way she talkes that took me deep in!
Nice presentation. Keep it up.
Please tell me the story behind MULUND!!!!!!
😀😀😀
Rehne de feminist trigger ho jayegi
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@krishna_o15 ohhh bhai 😂😂😂😂😂
Marathi me bunder mean port
Marathi language se bhot name bne hai usne kha nhi😩😩
It is said mulund got its name from buddhist monk who lived in that area for a while
Amazing! I ❤️ Mumbai!!
For your information, it’s ‘कोळी’ with the hard ‘L’ sound & not ‘कोली’. Hence its कुळाबा & not कोलाबा. Same goes for वरळी which is the actual native pronunciation.
Obviously there will be pronunciation differences between languages, no need to be so insecure and get offended 😊
Nice info 👍
Put more videos like this.
I love this anchor!! She is so coool
interesting starting edit👏👏
Mast 👍
Great video.
You know i am new in MUMBAI❌😚🙄
You know i am new in BOMBAY ✅😌😇
Very nice and interesting video clip., now in the year 2021 I am a retired employee of Mumbai port trust., born and brought up in my Mumbai., the most funny thing I liked was the name of chor bazar., even after staying in Mumbai for last fifty-five years I was not knowing that Shor Bazar became a chor Bazar., actually British people spoiled most of our names and uneducated people who had problems in pronouncing original names., thank you very much for uploading this beautiful vedio clip of Mumbai names., regards from retired employee of Mumbai port trust shri Sachin chandrakant potdar andheri west Mumbai.
Chor bazaar was in fact chor bazaar. In my youth, we used to go to Chor Bazaar, where stolen things could be bought for a song. Tata furnished his taj mahal hotel at Gateway, mostly from items bought here, and used to be considered without provenance, second hand, and hence chor bazaar.
I ❤️ Mumbai my home city and my most favourite city in India 😇😇💖💖
My home area is called Matunga. There are many stories how it came to be. One is that at one time , in remote times, the Ashram of Matanga Muni stood there, and was called Matangashram, which became Matunga .There is a temple there, which stood at the site of the Ashram, and is behind the Aurora theater. The name KIng's Circle, still called by the same name, was given in honor of King Emperor , Victoria's son, King Edward, when it was developed from a barren area to be the last outpost of then Bombay. At that time, Dadar was the last outpost, and the trams which were running till the sixties, ran till Dadar, and so was called the terminus, Dadar TT or Dadar Tram Terminus. The trams were lengthened to KIng's Circle in the late 30s, when BIT or Bombay Improvement Trust, started building in this area. BB Dadar was Dadar West, which was covered then by the Bombay Baroda and Central India Railway also known as BB&CI. We still call it BB Dadar, and Dadar TT, even though those two organizations do not exist anymore. Sion was the portugeese version of the word Shiv, where a Shiva temple Stood once or it may have been Shivaji's lookout fort. This fort existed even in the 60s, in all its glory.
I love mumbai❤️
You didn't go to agripada, paiduni. And other places.
Was waiting for "Worli"
Welcome to the city of SOT🔥
Finally, some informative video with a decent anchor. Superlikes!
The intro was very well edited!
In Guwahati there are areas called Survey and Wireless.
Ghodbunder in thane name came from the port where ghodas or horses were sold to britishers for tradings via arabiansea.
Hanging Garden is not how it got its name, the place used to be cemetery for Parsi community, where Parsi's hanged the dead body because they believed life is a part of nature and so should be given back to nature. Also, the garden had vultures and crows, which eats almost everything from the dead, hence the place was used for cemetery.
Parsi's don't hang their dead bodies. The dead body is placed on a dry well that has a wire net. The (vultures {now crows and kites} would scavenge the body and the bones would fall into the dry well, where it would over time and due to exposure to elements disintegrate to earth. The vultures would eat the body in 15 mins flat. Hence there was no decomposing odour etc. Now that the vultures are no more the scavenging process takes much longer. Hence solar inceneration is now being used.
please make vdo on all college of mumbai
One Like for your sincere efforts..👍
I thought colaba was named after Kulaba or Kolaba fort which is just of the coast down south of Mumbai's colaba
N anchor awsome presentation....
Malad
Years ago, many quarries were located n were selling Malad stone, hence this area got it's name.
Andheri was called andheri because of darkness (andhera),same due to british military base at goregaon people would say woh gore logo ka gav hain
Shes cute, especially when she pronounce "here"
Wrong information about bandra. Real name us Vandre. Many outsider speak Bandra and govt also used it, but now they rectified it and only Union Government offices used Bandra intentionally.
where is borivali
Nice info.. But why call Bombay n nt Mumbai...Bandra n nt vandre.. Sion n nt Shiv... Why?? We r so concerned abt correct pronunciation of fashion brand names n European countries n places all over world.. Lyk restaurantns... Noo York City...Miami etc etc n wat not... ..hypocrits in denial state.... Often this ppl belong n landup nowhere..
Chup chutiye
It is Sheev, not Shiv as in the god
Because it is the English name , why are you guys insecure
Nice
You are the bolna aunty girl right? Damn...so much time has passed
❤️ मुंबई
Do Thane - kalyan
It's SoMu, no more SoBo
But we always like to call Mumbai as Bombay & CST as VT.
Why malabar Hills??
Malabar was old name for entire Konkan strip...
People from Alibaug, use to visit that place for walkeshwar temple...
Therefore, Malabar
There were actually small hills on that island which were later flattened. Even today Malabar Hills is the highest area in Mumbai.
Powai aur Goregaon ka kya ?
Q awseome content.....
How diva kopar Dombivli thakurli and kalyan got their name

OM Prakash mishra wali hai yeh.....bol na Aunty aahu kya...... Kya natak kiya tha isnay
Yeh Kya BC hai? :D om prakhash wali? SOT?
om Prakash wali aunty mil gai
Om prakash ek chutiya tha..ab bhi hai.. it was the bad past we had..
So in a nutshell, British hangover.
Kurla was named after the crabs 'Kurli' that were found here
I live in seven bunglows
I don't buy the Shor-Chor argument. Why is chor easier to pronounce for the British than shor? Of course the entrepreneurs there will say that. And they're not wrong in that, I'd do the same haha.
Worli? Peddar road Crawford, nerul , radar, Parel,
Seven bungalows and versova are not the same thing.
This is research gone wrong🤣
True!!!
Hw abt churchgate???
OM PRAKASH 🤣🤣🤣
Bandra in वांद्रे in marathi
Hi, that was super great info. Thank you maam. I would also like to include my opinion. khalla is an Afghani name. I recollect this name from the vlog of a bag pack traveller. And those times a large number of rich Afgani tradesmen had travelled and settled in Mumbai to do business. So maybe a rich businessman lived and flourished in byculla. Out of respect he must have been called "Bhai Khalla". So maybe why this area was referred to as Bhai Khalla's area. Secondly I feel that Bombay got its name from the city of Pompeii. It was a city in Italy with large number of bars. Pompeii was famous for wine, women and gambling. This city got ruined in a natural disaster. You can find details online. Maybe the British and European travellers referred to our city as Pompeii was mistook for Bombay due to the pronunciation. All other explanations sound fictitious and untrue.
And same as Mumbai, even Pompeii was covered on 3 sides by the ocean.
Aryan jha
I'm sure Goregaon is not the village where British lived. 😂😂
Bol na aunty, aab mein aa gaya 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
By the way you were new in Mumbai so is it that the place from where u came gave you all this information.😂😂 Good one.

Andheri

Original name is supposed to be ‘श्रीस्थान’ from which the present name ‘ठाणे’ seems to have been derived.
