Panha

Meaning

wisdom, intelligence; from Pali panna. A boys' favorite in Cambodia since the 2000s, so in the US it tends to mark the newer wave of Cambodian arrivals rather than the refugee generation

Popularity, 1890–2024

Shape drawn from US Social Security baby-name records. Panha has stayed rare in US records the whole time: no peak decade to name.
