Moon Water


adieu

Recommended Posts

I don't know anyone named Chantara, though it appears on various online sites that offer Thai baby girl names and their meanings.

 

One site lists it as a: "Thai name meaning "moon water." Derived from the Thai words chan ("moon") and tara ("water")."

 

I admit my Thai is not at a level which recognised tara as a word for water.

 

But what does "moon water" mean to a Thai? Are they just words that sound nice together and have no meaning or application? My wife, not a Thai, thinks it might refer to how moonlight looks on the water.

First time I have ever heard Jantara explained that way. I found that site and some of their "name meanings" baffle me. In fact, some are downright stupid. :p

 

I'd say Chantara / Jantara is just the full word for "moon". :dunno:

 

I prefer this site, which doesn't even try to explain many names ...
