Jirat is Thai in Origin.

Jirat is a Thai given name, used for any gender though more common for boys. It corresponds to the Thai spellings จิรัตน์ or จีรัตน์ and is built from Pali/Sanskrit roots: cira, meaning long-lasting or eternal, and ratna, “jewel,” which enters Thai as รัตน์ rat. The combined sense is “enduring jewel,” “everlasting gem,” or “precious for a long time,” an auspicious wish for durability, value, and good fortune.

In Thailand the name gained popularity in the twentieth century alongside other Pali–Sanskrit compounds favored for positive symbolism. It remains familiar yet not overly common. Variant romanizations reflect different transcription systems, including Jeerat, Jeerath, and Chirat; related short forms include Jira and Jeera. Cognate compounds such as Jirawat, Jiraporn, and Jirapat share the Jira- element but are distinct names. Informal nicknames may be Jir, Je, Rat, or Art. There is no established usage outside Thai contexts.
