In 1975, Saigon was merged with the surrounding province of Gia Dinh and renamed Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Min City.

I believe that is the name.

It was named after Ho Chi Min, the leader of the communists.

Saigon was renamed "Ho Chi Minh City", named after Vietnamese socialist leader and militant Ho Chi Minh.

"Saigon" was a French name, and the Vietnamese didn't particularly like the French.
