wiktionary
From Portuguese Bombaim, possibly from Marathi मुंबादेवी(mumbādevī, “goddess Mumba”) [1] or from bom + baim. [2] Most likely a combination of both.
etymonline
Bombay
city in western India, from Portuguese, and popularly explained as Portuguese bom bahia "good bay," but that seems folk etymology (for one, the adjective is masculine and the noun is feminine), and the more likely candidate is the local Mumbadevi "Goddess Mumba," a Hindu deity worshipped there. The city's name officially changed to Mumbai in 1995.
