Introduction

Surnames did not always exist in Thailand—they were only introduced in the 1920s. This was formalized by a legislative act, after which the king "granted" surnames to the most influential Thai families. According to the law, every Thai citizen must have a first name and a surname (without middle names, patronymics, or any additional name elements).
