Throughout the world, ทองชนก (ทองชนก 
, Tongchanok , Thongkchonk ) is a very rare dominantly female, but infrequently boy's first name. The forename ทองชนก is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare principally girly, but very infrequently male name. Very seldom, ทองชนก is the last name as well as the forename.
