Briggsy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Bongkot pronounced Bong-got in Thai. This is a charming and appropriate name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonD Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Raya. I'm told it means 'beautiful adornment or precious jewel' (lit: a brooch, pendant or necklace). The stress is on the second syllable: Rai-Yaa. Haha, happens to be the name we have been thinking about!Not sure about the meaning like you mention but it is also a Hebrew name. would sound nice using the Thai name Patcha and make it Patcharaya.. It's my GF's name, given by her mother who is Khmer, just to complicate matters. Definitely find out what the true meaning is, especially when combining names. You might end up with something that translates as 'crunchy frog' or something embarrassing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bina Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 krisb: ra'aya is the hebrew pronunciation and it is an old fashioned name and essentially it means: wife/life partner, soul friend, and comes from the song of songs, cant remember where... definately wouldnt use it if u are going to be in israel, but nice enough if u dont take in to consideration the hebrew meaning, just the thai version. bt, the hebrew pronunciation of it is with a gutteral ah in the first syllable. malee a good name, it means jasmine, is short, easily pronounced, i think there are english lang variations but i think that anyhow in thailand whatever u are named, in shcool or somewhere along the way, someone will shorten the name or give the girl a different nickname anyhow. bina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2unique Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) We named our daughter Kallista which is from Greek Mythology and means Most Beautiful - it's also accepted as a Thai name กริศตา (Garista, go figure) I have a list of names and their Thai counterparts (only J and K names we both liked) which I will find the spreadsheet and post/pm if beneficial.

TommoPhysicist Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 OK, so you don't like Susan (I was dead serious with that suggestion, 555) So how about naming her after some pop singers, my two faves Takatan and Gratae (pronounced Ta-ka-tairn, Gra-Tair) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai first names are almost exclusively derived from Pali-Sanskrit words with positive meanings. Your input is appreciated. Try again. p.s. Bongkot is the one you want.
