Re: meaning of thai name
Most of thai people's names are come from Sansakrit & Pali word.
It's not usuall used in everyday life but you could found it in thai literature
or very formal documents. You have to know the Sansakrit & Pali root to translate
these words. Even thai could translate only a few of these of word and when
we want to know the meaning we have to find it in thai-thai dictionary.
Your example name "Kittikan"¡ÔµµÔ¡Ò¹µì is consits of two Sansakrit/Pali words
¡ÔµµÔ + ¡Ò¹µì. ¡ÔµµÔ = ¤íÒÊÃÃàÊÃÔ,à»ç¹·ÕèàÅ×èͧÅ×Í = to be praised or renown ,fame (in good way)
¡Ò¹µì = à»ç¹·ÕèÃÑ¡ = to be loved (this word is use with female)
So ¡ÔµµÔ¡Òµì should means " the woman that famous and be loved (by everyone).
You can search many difficault or Sansakrit & Palih root words here "dict.longdo.com" it's one of the best online thai-thai/thai-eng dictionary , I think.

Re: meaning of thai name
hi Deemcazz,
thank you so much for your effort. The Thai script all looks a bit scary for me at the moment. For now I am just struggling to understand the spoken Thai. But it's an enjoyable struggle I must say :-)
I will happily tell my Kittikan that she is famous and loved by everyone and especially me.
thanks again and welcome to the forum from one neewby to another.
Steve
