Phnom Penh's former official name is '''Krong Chaktomuk Serei Mongkol''' (, lit. 'City of the Brahma's Faces'), in its short form as '''Krong Chaktomuk''' (lit. "City of Four Faces"). ''Krong Chaktomuk'' is an abbreviation of the full name which was given by King Ponhea Yat, ''Krong Chaktomuk Mongkol Sakal Kampuchea Thipadei Serei Theakreak Bavar Intabat Borei Roat Reach Seima Moha Nokor'' (, ). This loosely translates as "The place of four rivers that gives the happiness and success of Khmer Kingdom, the highest leader as well as impregnable city of the God Indra of the great kingdom".
