Pernem is an administrative region or district in north Goa. It is also the name of the town of Pernem, which is its headquarters.
Pernem is counted as belonging to one of the two Goan sub-regions, the Novas Conquistas, or New Conquests. It was taken over, lost and finally regained from the Rajas of Sawantwadi, a state on Goa's northern border that allied sometimes with the Portuguese and sometimes with the Marathas. (The Kingdom of Sawantwadi was integrated into the district of Ratnagiri after 1947 and is now part of the district of Sindhudurg). Ratnagiri is located in the southwestern part of Maharashtra State on the Arabian Sea coast. ... Sindhudurg is an administrative district in the state of Maharashtra in India. ...
The m at the end of the name is a Portuguese addition and is silent. The name in Konkani and Marathi is Pedne, and inhabitants are called Pednecar in Konkani and Pedneker in Marathi (giving the spoken forms).
The surname Pednekar used by Konkanasthas indicates origins in Pernem.
