Etymology
From พิษณุ (pít-sà-nú, “Viṣṇu, Hindu god”) + โลก (lôok, “world”); literally "Viṣṇu's world". Compare Old Khmer viṣṇuloka; Modern Khmer ពិស្ណុលោក (pɨhnolook); Sanskrit विष्णुलोक (viṣṇuloka).
The last sense was first used in 2006 BE (1463/64 CE) when King Borommatrailokkanat of Ayutthaya moved his court from Ayutthaya to this town and renamed the town to suit his royal dignity, because Ayutthayan monarchs, influenced by the cult of divine monarchy, believed themselves to be incarnations of the Hindu god Viṣṇu. Prior to the renaming, the town was known as ชัยนาท (chai-nâat, literally “resounding victory”).
