==Etymology==
The original name for this city was "Bandar Brunei" or "Brunei Town" in English. In 1967, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Hassanal Bolkiah and took the title of "Seri Begawan". Bolkiah was then made as a defence minister and in 5 October 1970, he renamed the city to honour his late father.〔 The word "''Begawan''" was also used for Bruneian monarchs who have abdicated, the word originally coming from the Sanskrit word for "god": भगवान ''bhagavān''. Beside that, ''Seri Begawan'' was known as "blessed one" in Sanskrit.〔 ''Seri'' comes from the honorific Sanskrit word ''Sri'', and ''Bandar'' comes from Persian via Indian languages and originally meant "harbour" or "port" or "haven".〔〔 In Malay, ''bandar'' is known as a "town" or a "city".
