Samnaksong Narinthammarattanarahm (สำนักสงฆ์นรินทร์ธรรมรัตนาราม) is the Thai name of a Buddhist temple in Nan. Whereas Samnaksong (สำนักสงฆ์) is another word for ‘temple’ or ‘monastery’, which literally means ‘monastic office’ or ‘office of the monks’, with Song (สงฆ์) being an abbreviation of Phrasong (พระสงข์), Thammarattana, i.e. the ‘Righteousness Jewel’, is a compound of Thamma (ธรรม) or Dhamma and Rattana (รัตนะ), and refers to the Teachings of the Buddha, a term that often appears in Buddhist names, especially of temples, where it usually refers to either all or one of the Rattanatrai (รัตนตรัย), i.e. the ‘Triple Gems’ or ‘Three Jewels’, that is to say the Buddha, his teachings (dhamma) and the Sangha (สงฆ์, संघ)). The suffix rahm or raam (ราม) derives from araam (อาราม) and also means ‘temple’ or ‘monastery’, whereas Narin (นรินทร์) is a royal title that means ‘Leader of the People’ or ‘Lord of Men’, and which can be translated to ‘King’ or ‘sovereign’. Hence, the temple's name translates to ‘King of the Righteousness Jewel Monastery’, ‘Lord of the Dhamma Jewel Temple’, or ‘Temple of the Leader of the Righteousness Jewel’.
