Thai Baby Girl Names

With its dazzling Buddhist temples, delicious street cuisine, bustling markets, blue-water beaches and rich culture, it’s no wonder Thailand tops the list for so many travelers and those looking for a hearty dose of adventure. And if you’re lucky enough to have Thai roots (or just love this vibrant nation!), there’s no doubt you’ll want to share your appreciation for the “Land of Smiles” with baby. One way to honor your Thai ancestry or most favorite place on the planet? A gorgeous Thai name for your new baby girl. (And, FYI, we’ve got tons to choose from!).

Naming a new member of your family is a very special process in Thailand. And that’s because names aren’t just, well, names, but a representation of all the things baby can strive to be throughout life. With that in mind, it’s super-important for a lot of parents to pick a name with a positive meaning—one that captures all the amazing qualities they hope to instill in their little one (like loyalty, grace or charisma, for example). But that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative with it. In fact, many parents looking for a Thai female name (or nickname) like to pluck inspiration from astrology, religion, nature, things they love and even famous and fictional figures.

So no matter what draws you to the perfect Thai girl name in the end, expect to say a warm “Sawasdee” (a friendly greeting in Thai!) to some fun, quirky, unique and inspiring ones along the way!
