Your name in ภาษาไทย

Why most "name in Thai" generators get it wrong

Many sites convert English letters one by one. Thai doesn't work that way — it writes foreign names by sound, with vowels that go before, above or below the consonant. We tested the top results on Google in October 2026: one turned "Christopher" into ริโทเผ (meaningless). Thai people write คริสโตเฟอร์.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write my name in Thai?

Thai writes foreign names by sound. Type your name and we show how Thai people commonly spell it, with an alternative where Thais use two spellings. Our list covers common English and European names.

Is this accurate enough for a tattoo?

Names in our list follow the spellings Thai people commonly use. Because a tattoo is permanent, we strongly recommend a native check of the final design — you can order one here for $7.

Can I use these fonts for my tattoo?

Yes. Every font in the gallery is published under the SIL Open Font License, which allows use in tattoos and commercial designs.

Why do some names have two spellings?

Thai has no single official way to spell foreign names. For example Lisa is usually written ลิซ่า, but the Royal Institute style is ลิซา. Both are read the same.
