napat

Napat is a masculine given name of Thai origin. It is commonly romanized as Napat, Napath, Naphat, or Naphet, reflecting variations in transliteration from Thai script. The name is widely used in Thailand and among Thai communities abroad.

In Thai, many given names are created by combining characters with auspicious or descriptive meanings. The specific meaning of Napat depends on which Thai characters are chosen to spell it, and there is no single fixed translation. Because multiple spellings can represent different scripts, the same romanization may denote different meanings in Thai.

Usage of Napat spans various sectors of Thai society, including education, sports, business, and the arts. It is typically used for boys and is one of many common Thai names that parents select to convey positive qualities or connections to nature and virtue. When Thai names are presented in non-Thai contexts, spelling variants often arise, even for the same individual, due to differing transliteration practices.
