Chaiya

Chaiya is a masculine name of Thai origin that packs a mighty punch. Meaning "victory," Chaiya is not for the faint of heart, being deeply aligned with the Thai kickboxing style, Muay Chaiya. Chaiya is the name of a city in the Surat Thani Province. While the ancient combat sport has a long-standing presence here, the name is said to have been coined by a person from Bangkok. Chaiya is also theorized by some to stem from the Indonesian and Malay word cahaya, meaning "gleam" or "glow"—a fitting visual for a natural-born champion.
