Phanumas

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Thai

Meaning: sun

Phanumas is a masculine name of Thai origin. Possibly related to the planetary phrase พระอาทิตย์, or phra ahtit, this name means “sun.” Planetary observations in Thai language learning texts can be quite rare, but there’s no way anyone could have resisted celebrating that bright and ever-changing orb—no matter the experience with the language! Bursting forth with easy confidence, Phanumas embodies its meaning, "sun," in its very delivery.
