I don't speak Thai, but I have some ideas anyway. http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Emma.html "A borrowing from the German, Emma would be derived from Germanic ermen meaning 'whole' or 'universal,' 'all embracing.' Emma might also be is a form of Erma, a short form of various names which begin with the element Erm(en), Irm(en) which can also mean 'strong'. For some, it is a diminutive of Emmanuelle." http://www.babynamesworld.com/search.php?p=qsearch&s_gender=1&s_copt=2&i_search=emma If your Emma is short for Emmanuelle, in Hebrew, her name means "strong." http://www.babycenter.com/babyname/results.jhtml?_DARGS=%2Fbabyname%2Findex.jhtml Emily is a popular variant of Emma, but can have a different meaning: hardworking, industrious, ambitious. http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ Trivia: Emma was the second-most-popular name for girl children in the U.S. in 2005 So here are my two suggestions: ---you can ask to have "Emma" transliterated, that is, just find out the Thai letters for the sounds "em" and "ma." ---you can ask to have "Emma" translated, that is, finding out the Thai word(s) for ------whole, all, infinite, universe ------ambitious, hardworking ------strong ------with God (or God with us) Who can help you? You need to find a Thai group that is willing to be helpful in writing it out for you to take to the tattoo parlor. You could just go to a couple of different Thai restaurants when they are NOT busy and buy a meal, and tell the manager what you're doing. They'd probably help. (But go to at least two, so you can compare the answers you get). A Thai church would probably help too. Your local library, if it stocks books in Thai, will have contacts -- just ask the reference librarian. Good luck! :)

If you have Thai language installed on your computer then here is a transliteration of "Emma" into Thai: เอ็มม่า

เอ็มม่า

i dont know but i think whoever gives you the translation you should check it out before you get the tatoo so u dont tatoo dumb ass or somthin on your body that you think says emma lol...good luck!

Check it, double check it and check it again. There are hundreds of stories about people thinking their tat means "Strength" or "wisdom" but instead actually means "shoe"....
