Tips for Translating Vietnamese Names into Lao in No Time
The structure of proper names in Lao typically includes the GIVEN NAME and the FAMILY NAME, which is different from Vietnam, where the family name comes first, followed by the given name.
In practice, for important documents or records that require the localization of proper names, you will need the help of a translator. However, you can still refer to the following translation methods to quickly choose a nice Lao name.
For example: The name Vũ Minh Tâm – The word "Tâm" in Vietnamese usually refers to the soul of a person. In Lao, we can choose the word “ເດືອນ” (duān), which means "mind" or "soul." Therefore, "Vũ Minh Tâm" can be translated into Lao as “ວູ ມິນ ເດືອນ” (Vu Min Duān).
For example: “Lê Văn Hùng” becomes “ວັນຮຸ້ງ ເລ” (Văn Hùng Lê) in Lao.
