Around the world, Poonphiphat (พูนพิพัฒน์ 
, Poonphiphat ) is a rare predominantly male, but very seldom girly forename. The forename Poonphiphat is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a rare principally boy's, but scarcely feminine name. More frequently, Poonphiphat is the last name as well as the forename.
