Podgorica is written in [[Cyrillic]] as '''Подгорица''', {{IPA|sh|pǒdɡoritsa|pron}}; {{IPAc-en|UK|ˈ|p|ɒ|d|ɡ|ɒr|ɪ|t|s|ə|,_|p|ɒ|d|ˈ|ɡ|ɔːr|-}},<ref>{{cite book |last=Wells |first=John C. |author-link=John C.

''Gorica'' ({{lang-cyrl|Горица}}), a diminutive of the word Gora (Cyrillic: Гора) which is another word for Mountain or Hill, means "little/small hill", is the name of one of the [[cypress]]-covered [[hillock]]s that overlooks the city center. Some three kilometres ({{convert|3|km|abbr=off|disp=output only}}) north-west of Podgorica lie the ruins of the Roman-era town of [[Doclea (city)|Doclea]], from which the [[Roman Emperor]] [[Diocletian]]'s mother hailed. In later centuries, Romans corrected the name to {{lang|la|Dioclea}}, guessing that an ''i'' had been lost in vulgar speech. {{lang|zls|[[Duklja]]}} is the later [[South Slavic languages|South Slavic]] version of the same word. At its foundation in 426 AD,<ref>Egan, John M. K. (2003). ''Montenegro: A History''. London: C. Hurst & Co.</ref> the town was called {{ill|Birziminium{{!}}'''Birziminium'''|sr|Бирзиминијум}}. In the [[Middle Ages]], it was known as '''Ribnica''' ({{lang-cyrl|Рибница}}, {{IPA|sh|rîbnitsa|}}). The name Podgorica was used from 1326. From 1946 to 1992, the city was [[List of places named after Tito|named]] '''Titograd''' ({{lang-cyrl|Титоград}}, {{IPA|sh|tîtoɡraːd|}}) in honour of [[Josip Broz Tito]], the [[List of heads of state of Yugoslavia#SFR Yugoslavia|President]] of [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] from 1953 to 1980. In 1992 the city changed its name to "Podgorica", which it remains today.
