After the actress Pat Napapa Tantakul became six months pregnant with a daughter, due to give birth in August 2026, she revealed her adorable daughter's name as "Nong Zeya." However, some netizens sparked drama by questioning Pat Napapa about why she named her daughter Nong Zeya, as it is the same as the name of the daughter of senior actor Pete Thongjua.
Recently, the popular page "E-Pa Khang Baan" posted a clip discussing this issue. They said they asked Pat about the drama, and she replied that upon seeing the drama, she was simply puzzled as to why it became an issue. Regarding the name, the family helped come up with it since they already had a son named Racing and wanted a girl's name starting with the Thai letter 'So' (ซ) to rhyme with Racing. This time, they agreed on the prefix 'Ze,' so they thought, what should follow 'Ze'? They finally chose the name Zeya because everyone agreed it had a beautiful meaning and everyone liked it, so that settled it.
As for the meaning of the name "Zeya," from what I researched, Zeya means "a star that shines with its own light." Some sources also say it means "guardian," implying a sacred or protective quality. She added that despite the name drama, Pat insists she will definitely not change her daughter's name.
