Could someone help me with the meaning of this name ? I've read it means "highly honored" in Khmer. Do you have more ?

It's the name of a character from the movie "Vidocq", for those who know it.

Take care,
Andria.

Preah Ko
Preah Khan
Preah Vihear

these above are all names of temples, 'sacred places', and Preah means 'sacred' (which is a bit alike 'highly honoured'). if you see a placename beginning with Preah, it is most of the time a sacred place or temple.

Are you sure about the spelling? The first thing I though of was the Indian name Priya. Don't know if they're related though.

Thanks Menke and Chrisell. Yes I'm sure about the spelling, but Priya is also nice though.
