Apisit is Thai in Origin.
Apisit (Thai: อภิสิทธิ์) is a Thai masculine given name built from the Pali/Sanskrit prefix abhi- "over, superior" and Thai สิทธิ์ sit (from Pali/Sanskrit siddhi, "right, authority; success"). The composite sense is "privileged," "endowed with special rights," or "one possessing eminent success." Like many modern Thai names, it blends Indic roots with Thai semantics to convey auspicious status and accomplishment.
Use is widespread in Thailand from the late 19th to 20th centuries onward, reflecting the bureaucratic-royal vocabulary of สิทธิ์ ("prerogative/entitlement"). The name entered international awareness through Abhisit Vejjajiva, former prime minister. Common romanizations include Aphisit (RTGS standard), Abhisit (Sanskritized), and Apisit/Apisith, with spellings chosen to guide English pronunciation. Related short forms include Sit. Variants sharing the -sit/-sith element appear in names such as Pisit and Worasit. Apisit remains chiefly masculine but, like many Thai given names, can be chosen flexibly for auspicious meaning.
