ORIGIN OF THE WORD "FARANG"

A wide-spread belief in Thailand is that the word "farang"

(Caucasian) is derived from the French word "francais". This

derivation is implausible on phonetic and historical grounds. It is in

fact a popular misconception. It is true, however, that these words

have the same ultimate source.

The word is attested in various forms in languages in Europe,

Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. It is clear

that the word orginated as "Frank" in Europe and spread eastwards

along Muslim trade routes.

Thai most likely borrowed the word from influential Muslim Persian

or Indian traders in the 17th century or even earlier. The Persian

word was "farangg". The term probably was used to refer to early

Portuguese traders and subsequently to all Europeans (ie.,

non-Muslims).

It is possible that the Thai word "farangset" ("French") is a blend

of the word "farang" and the French word "francais", ie., "farangset"

is actually derived from "farang", not vice versa. Certainly, the word

"farang" existed prior to, and independently of, "farangset".
