The area is named after Sir Evan Nepean, 1st Baronet, a British politician and administrator, and the Governor of Bombay (1812–1819). This road was renamed to Lady Laxmibai Jagmohandas Marg[1] in the 1960s, but as is the case with many other British street names that were renamed, it continues to be referred to as Nepean Sea Road.
