Vietnamese
editEtymology
edit- "Bà Rịa": means "Mrs. Rịa", named after Nguyễn Thị Rịa. Ancient Chinese documents such as the New Book of Tang mention the chiefdom of Poli (婆利). Maybe it's Brunei/Borneo, not Bà Rịa.
- "Vũng Tàu": vũng + tàu, means "Bay of Ships" and refers to the nearby Gành Rái Bay.
