Worldwide, ปฐมศักดิ์ (ปฐมศักดิ์ 
, Pathomsak ) is a very rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely girly given name. The forename ปฐมศักดิ์ is habitual in South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female name. Much less frequently, ปฐมศักดิ์ is the last name as well as the forename.
