Name Translation

[smcateer]

(First post )

I have a couple of Thai names that I am having a bit of trouble translating:

ธนะชัย, and

ธนะโชค.

The ชัย and โชค bits are just straightforward Thai; it's the ธนะ part which is proving more difficult. I am assuming it is Pali, but there are to many candidates ... I don't know which one is the correct Pali word:

thañña - mother's milk,

tāna - protection,

thana - bosom, udder, or

thāna - (modifier) place of, condition of.

Alternatively, it might not be Pali at all; this is just a guess.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ธนะ means "money and assets" (should be from both Pali and/or Sanskrit) for example ธนาคาร = Bank

ธนะ correspond to dhana, "wealth".
