Bandar or Bunder (in Persian بندر) is a Persian word meaning "port" and "haven". Etymologically it combines Persian بند Band (enclosed) and در dar (gate, door) meaning "an enclosed area" (i.e. protected from the sea). The word travelled with Persian sailors over a wide area leading to several coastal places in Iran and elsewhere having Bandar (haven) as part of their names. In some Indian languages the word Bandar also means "monkey" although Bandargah means "port". In Malaysian Malay language, bandar means "town" or sometimes "city", while in Indonesian Malay it means "port".

The piers have long gone, but the place names continue to be used today. These include:
- Apollo Bunder
- Akhtar Bunder
- Arthur Bunder

- Ghod Bunder (ghod = horses)
- Haji Bunder
