Peppy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Assuming that Ivany is pronounced "eye-van-nee", a possible spelling in Thai is this: ไอแว็นนี Regarding "pride", ภูมิใจ / poom-jai / "proud" is probably the best word to use. "Pride" is literally ความภูมิใจ, but it seems like a funny word to get as a tattoo. It should be noted that the concept of "pride" doesn't have quite the same connotations in Thai culture as it does in English--it's usually ok to be "proud" of your group, but "pride" in oneself is often associated with conceit, snobbishness, and arrogance.
