Uncertain. Compare Khmer មហាផ្ទៃ (mɔɔhaaphtɨy), from មហា (mĕəʼhaa, “great”) + ផ្ទៃ (phtɨy, “land; territory”), equivalent to Thai มหา (má-hǎa) +‎ ไผท (pà-tai); and compare Khmer មហាតថៃ (mɔɔhaatthay), of uncertain origin. Perhaps first used officially around 2006 Buddhist Era (1463/64 Common Era).[1]
