Sopheaktra is Khmer in Origin.

Sopheaktra is a Khmer (Cambodian) given name with Buddhist Pali–Sanskrit roots. It combines Sopheak/Sophea - linked to Pali subha, “good, auspicious, beautiful,” and in Khmer often glossed as “virtue” or “goodness” - with the element -tra, a Sanskrit agentive/protective suffix found in Khmer names (e.g., Chantra). The compound is thus interpreted as “protector of virtue,” “one of beautiful virtue,” or more loosely “virtuous character.” The name is unisex in contemporary use.

In Cambodia the name reflects the long tradition of forming meaningful compounds from Indic vocabulary, a pattern that strengthened in the 20th century and continues in the Khmer diaspora. Romanization produces spelling variability; you may see Sopheatra (dropping the k), Sopheaktra, or the spaced form Sophea Tra. Related base names include Sophea, Sopheak, and Sopheap. Common nicknames are Phea, Pheak, or Tra. Overall, Sopheaktra conveys moral goodness tempered by grace and quiet strength.
