With Thai origins, Mongkut is a royal boy’s name quite literally meaning “crown.” For those with Thai heritage who see baby as their own piece of royalty, I couldn’t think of a greater name than Mongkut. This was also the name of the fourth monarch of Thailand, then called Siam. King Mongkut also known as King Rama IV reigned from 1851–1868.
