Thai names are heavily influenced by Sanskrit (East Indian language) and Portuguese. It is common for Thai parents to consult a monk or astrologer to help choose a baby name that will bring good luck to the child throughout his or her life. A Thai child usually only has one given name, but nicknames are common. Nicknames can be derived from the formal name, where the child was born, a characteristic of the child, or anything related to animals or nature.
