The law does not allow one to create any surname that is duplicated with any existing surnames. [20] Under Thai law, only one family can create any given surname: any two people of the same surname must be related, and it is very rare for two people to share the same full name. In one sample of 45,665 names, 81% of family names were unique. [21]
Last names became legally required of Thai citizens in 1913 with the passing of the Surname Act 1913. [2] [1] Until then, most Thais used only a first or given name. According to the current law, Person Name Act, BE 2505 (1962), to create a new Thai surname, it must be no longer than ten Thai letters, excluding vowel symbols and diacritics. [3]
