Around the globe, ปลัด (Palat 
, Pavad , ปลัด ) is quite a common principally boy's, but scarcely feminine forename. The forename ปลัด is characteristic of India, where it is a rare principally masculine, but very seldom female name, Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare male name, and Thailand. Also, ปลัด is the last name as well as the forename.
