The name "Old Goa" was first used in the 1960s in the address of the [[Romi Konkani]] monthly magazine, dedicated to spread the devotion of the [[Sacred Heart of Jesus]], ''[[Dor Mhoineachi Rotti]]'', which was shifted to the [[Basilica of Bom Jesus]] in 1964. Postal letters were returned to the sender, as the name "Old Goa" was unknown then, according to then- and long-time editor of the monthly, the great Goan historian late Father [[Moreno de Souza]], S.J.

The village panchayat uses the name Sé-Old Goa, while the [[lndia Post]] and the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] use the name Velha Goa.

The place is popularly called ''Saibachem Gõy'' (referring to Saint [[Francis Xavier]] as ''Saib'', i.e., Master), ''Pornnem Gõy'', ''Adlem Gõy'', or simply just ''Gõy'' in Konkani.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}

Velha Goa should not be confused with [[Goa Velha]] lying a few miles away. The names ''Vhoddlem Gõy'' and ''Thorlem Gõy'' ("Big Goa") refer to Goa Velha; while ''Gõy'', besides referring to Velha Goa ("Old Goa"), also generally refers to the entire [[Goa]] state.<ref>Fr.
