Etymology

Short for 暹羅斛／暹罗斛 (as recorded in the History of Ming), which was a combined name for two states in modern-day Thailand:

暹 (Xiān), referring to the kingdom of Siam, likely the kingdom of Suvarnabhumi; and
羅斛／罗斛, the kingdom of Lavo (now called Lopburi).

The two kingdoms merged in the mid-14^th century to become the Ayutthaya Kingdom, and the combined Chinese name 暹羅 remained in use to refer to subsequent Thai kingdoms.
