Rangsey is Khmer in Origin.

Rangsey is a Khmer given name with roots in the wider mainland Southeast Asian lexicon. It relates to Indic raśmi/raṁsi, “ray” or “beam,” a source for Thai rangsi (“radiance”) and the well-known Khmer name Rasmey. As a result, Rangsey is commonly interpreted as “ray of light,” “radiance,” or “auspicious brilliance,” carrying connotations of hope, clarity, and good fortune. The name is generally unisex in Cambodian usage.

Documented more often from the mid to late 20th century onward, Rangsey appears among Cambodians and in the diaspora, sometimes as a middle name. Spelling varies with transliteration: Rangsi, Rangsay, Rangsei, and Rungsey occur, and the related cognates Rasmey/Rosmey show the same underlying meaning. Informal short forms include Rang and Sey. Because Khmer name order can invert in Western records, Rangsey may occasionally be seen as a surname, though it functions as a given name.
