Fah is Thai in Origin.

Fah is a Southeast Asian given name and nickname with two well-attested roots. In Thai, Fah (ฟ้า, fáː) means “sky,” “heaven,” or “azure.” It is popular as a cheerful nickname and, increasingly, a standalone name, unisex but common for girls. Related Thai compounds include Fahsai (“clear sky”) and Duangfah (“celestial orb”). Latinized forms vary - Fa, Faa, or Fah - depending on transcription.

In Chinese communities, especially Cantonese, Hakka, and Teochew in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, Fah represents the morpheme “flower” (花; Cantonese fa1) in feminine names such as Mei Fah and Siew Fah. Variants include Fa and the Mandarin equivalent Hua. Much less often it reflects other fa- characters; 發 (“prosper”) is typically Fatt/Faat. Diminutives include Fa or Fafa. Across origins, associations evoke sky, beauty, freshness, and brightness.
