adieu Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 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. I'd say Chantara / Jantara is just the full word for "moon". I prefer this site, which doesn't even try to explain many names ... http://www.thai-language.com/id/589844 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
