What is the meaning of the name Kongsak ?

Kongsak is Thai in Origin.

Kongsak is a Thai masculine given name built from kong/khong (คง, “to remain, be steadfast”) and sak (ศักดิ์, “rank, honor, prestige; power”), the latter ultimately from Indic roots (cf. Sanskrit śakti, “power”). The combined sense is “enduring honor” or “steadfast in prestige,” an auspicious virtue-name.

Documented throughout the 20th century and common today, it reflects the modern Thai practice of crafting meaningful compounds that signal status and moral steadiness; it appears among civil servants, academics, and Muay Thai champions such as Kongsak Sitboonmee. Spelling varies with romanization: Kongsak is common internationally, while Khongsak follows the official RTGS system; nicknames Kong or Sak are typical in Thai. Related formations with the prestige element include Sakda (“might”) and Saksit (“sacred”). The name is strongly masculine in Thai usage and resonates with Buddhist-influenced ideals of endurance, propriety, and respected lineage.
