Hi, I am researching on Thailand history and culture and noticed it had a strong influence from India. I was wondering whether the Thai name Thepdita (which means Angel, Goddess, Princess) has a Sanskrit influence or if the name is common in India. Thanks for your help.

Princess in Sanskrit would be " Rajkumari" pronounced raa-ja-ku-maa-ree

Hi, Suryia_82. Thank you so much for your reply. Obviously the word "Rajkumari" has no similarity with the Thai word. "Theptida" is a common female name in Thailand and I wonder if there is any Sanskrit word or name (female or male) that at least resembles "Theptida". Thank you again. Alzira
