The first settlement on the banks of the Brunei River can be traced to the 8th century where there had been settlements similar to those in Kampong Ayer, near the present site of the Brunei Museum with the modern city on the opposite shore. Human settlement in Brunei can be traced back to the 6th and 7th century with a Malay trading centre and fishing port near the current site of the city. The latter usage is common by residents who live outside of the district. Meanwhile, it may sometimes extend beyond the city's proper area, encompassing its surrounding urbanised areas and even to the extent of covering the whole of Brunei-Muara District. However, the exact area that the name refers to may differ in conversational context: apart from referring to the same areas as the city's official jurisdiction, 'Bandar' may also refer exclusively to the Pusat Bandar (literally 'City Centre') area of the capital to distinguish from other named areas within the city, whereby they were not part of the capital prior to 2007. The city is colloquially known by the local people as ' Bandar' which is the Malay word for '(the) Port'. Prior to this, the city had been known as ' Bandar Brunei' (literally 'Brunei City') or 'Brunei Town'. The city was renamed on 4 October 1970 to commemorate his contribution to the development of the country during his reign, especially on the modernisation of Brunei in the 20th century. 'Seri Begawan' is part of the royal title bestowed on the late Sultan upon his abdication from the throne in 1967. It was named after Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, who was the previous Sultan of Brunei and the late father of the current Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. 'Bandar Seri Begawan' is derived from the official Malay name which is translatable as 'Seri Begawan City', with Seri Begawan being derived from Sanskrit ( śrī bhagavān) meaning 'the aura of the gods'.
