Etymology

Bà Rịa +‎ Vũng Tàu.

"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 "ships puddle". It is possible that its original meaning was "Bay of Ships" referring to the nearby Gành Rái Bay.
