Samdech means something like 'Lord'.
Samrach means decide.

I thought you meant as a title. I've never heard of the name Samrach.... I do know a couple of Somraths though.
Anyhow, Jamie is right it means accomplished but is also used in popular conversation to mean decide.

Samrach chith (សម្រេចចិត្ត) means "to decide."ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:I misunderstood the Q.Jamie_Lambo wrote:hey mweis...mweis7 wrote:what does the word samrach mean in khmer in the context of a persons name? does it just mean samrach or is there any depth behind it?

Samrach (សម្រេច) on its own does mean "to accomplish, to achieve or to succeed" like Jamie wrote.

But Samrach is also used to mean decide. It's flexible based on context.
