What does the word Saigon mean?

• SAIGON (noun) Meaning: A city in South Vietnam; formerly (as Saigon) it was the capital of French Indochina.

Is Saigon a bad word?

It’s not offensive at all because people are still using the name Saigon up to this day. I myself really love the name and I hardly call it ‘Ho Chi Minh City’. Most of Saigonese (people living in HCMC) tend to use its former name more than the official one.
