Throughout the world, Sonchai (ศรชัย 
, Sonchai 
, สนชัย ) is quite a common primarily male, but scarcely girly given name. The first name Sonchai is habitual in South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently feminine name. Much less frequently, Sonchai is the last name as well as the forename.
