Why was it named Siam?

Something which the etymology section does not explain is why the country was named "Siam". Could someone provide information on this?--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 03:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Marshal. I studied Southeast Asian Studies and I can't find a definitive reason why the country was named Siam in either English or Thai sources. There are several theories, all of which are unverifiable. Even Thai academics have a fun time debating this. It seems unlikely to be resolved easily.

The photographs of cities in the "demographics" section are incorrectly labelled. The photograph on the left labelled "Nonthaburi" is a photograph of Pattaya. The photograph on the right labelled "Nakhon Ratchasima" is Hat Yai district in Song Khla province. I would love to change them myself, but I am new and don't know how to change labels in a table or titles of a photograph. Sorry about that. I live in Thailand and only just got back from working in Hat Yai. Srijulakhota (talk) 08:30, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
