Usage note[edit | edit source]
Many Thai people change their given names relatively frequently (and their last names less frequently, as it requires permission of the head of a family). Besides standard reasons of separation and divorce, many name changes are done in order to get rid of bad luck (which if caused by a ghost or spirit, would confuse said ghost or spirit, allowing the victim to get free from them).
Last names became legally required of Thai citizens in 1913. Before then, most Thais used only a first or individual name. Under Thai law, only one family can use any given surname, and therefore there exists a great diversity of Thai surnames.
