Wanchai
วันชัย
Joins Thai วัน (wan), "day", and ชัย (chai), "victory", to read roughly as "day of triumph".
Meaning and origin
Wanchai pairs two everyday Thai words rather than a single Sanskrit borrowing: wan for day, and chai for victory or triumph, the same second element that closes several other Thai boys' names.
