Girgaon, or Girgaum,( Marathi: गिरगांव ) is an area in southern Mumbai in Maharashtra, India. It is near the coast.[1] A section of Marine Drive is located here.[2]

Girgaon gets its name from being located at the foot of Malabar Hill in South Mumbai.The Sanskrit term “Giri” stands for hills, whereas the sanskrit word “gram” denotes a village. Thus, it originally meant a village at the foothill of mountains.
