Abhisit is Sanskrit, Thai in Origin.
Abhisit is a romanization of Thai อภิสิทธิ์, usually standardized as Aphisit. The name belongs to the Thai learned vocabulary built from Indic, chiefly Pali and Sanskrit, elements: abhi, a prefix meaning over, higher, or toward, and siddhi, accomplishment, success, or perfected attainment. In Thai the final cluster is simplified in speech to sit, while the written form preserves the etymological silent letters. Taken literally, อภิสิทธิ์ denotes a superior attainment or special right, hence the Thai common-noun sense privilege rather than good luck.
As a masculine Thai given name, Abhisit reflects the long use of Pali-Sanskrit compounds in Buddhist and royal-administrative naming culture. The spelling Abhisit is familiar internationally because of Abhisit Vejjajiva, prime minister of Thailand from 2008 to 2011; Aphisit and Apisit are alternative romanizations of the same Thai name. It is chiefly encountered in Thailand and Thai diaspora contexts, with little independent usage in Europe or North America.
Abhisit is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
