Goan.1

Brit. /ˈɡəʊə/, U.S. /ˈɡoʊə/
Forms: 1600s– Goa, 1700s Goar. Also occasionally with lower-case initial.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Goa.
Etymology: < Goa (Konkani goẽ), the name of a state on the west coast of India.Goa was under Portuguese rule from 1510 until 1961, when it became part of the modern state of India. The place name is attested in English contexts from the first half of the 16th cent., in early use also with reference the capital city of the Portuguese colony (now Old Goa). The English place name Goa apparently reflects the Portuguese form Goa, which itself reflects Gujarati goā and Marathi gova (where the v is purely graphic). The various Indian forms of the name are < Sanskrit gopaka- (in gopakapurī, lit. ‘town of herdsmen’).
attributive, with the sense ‘of, relating to, or native to Goa; Goan’.Recorded earliest in Goa stone n. at Compounds.
