Etymology
From เยาว (“young; youthful”) + ราช (râat, “monarch, sovereign; chief, lord, master”); ultimately from Pali yuvarāja (“heir apparent”) or Sanskrit युवराज (yuvarāja, “heir apparent”). Compare Old Khmer yuvarāja (“heir apparent”); Modern Khmer យៅវរាជ (yɨwwriəc, “heir apparent”).
The second sense of the noun was probably first used on 11 November 1924, when the Palace Law on Succession 1924 (กฎมณเฑียรบาลว่าด้วยการสืบราชสันตติวงศ์ พระพุทธศักราช ๒๔๖๗) was enacted.
As for the proper noun, the road was given its name by King Chulalongkorn around 1891.
