Prapa is a term used in several languages and cultures, functioning mainly as a personal name, a toponym, or rarely as part of a longer compound term. The exact meaning and usage of prapa vary by region, and there is no single, universally accepted definition.

As a given name, prapa is most often found as a feminine name in some Southeast Asian communities. Names including prapa are usually chosen for their phonetic appeal or in some cases are linked to cultural or familial naming traditions. The meaning attached to the name is not standardized and may differ between communities or families.

In geography, prapa appears as the name of small settlements or features in local languages in parts of Southeast Asia and South Asia. Such place-names are typically not widely documented in international gazetteers and may have local significance tied to historical land use or cultural associations.

In literature and media, prapa is occasionally used as a character name or fictional place name in works that draw on Southeast Asian setting or themes. Spelling and transliteration vary by script, including prapa, prapah, or praba in romanization schemes.
