Giving nicknames to Thai children from young is an old tradition that stemmed from the belief that evil spirits are present everywhere and are on the lookout to take away beautiful babies from their parents. Hence the parents will give their children beautiful names but will instead call them by their nicknames so as to divert these evil spirits from going after their children. In fact the uglier the nicknames, the safer it was to be for the babies. Hence all Thais have a nickname given at birth, besides their own names.

Calotes. Girgit is even wrongly refered to as chameleon but this is wrong. Girgit or gilgit is known as common garden lizard it is not an iguana like a chameleon. Thus girgit is not chameleon but calotes (/Calotes vericolor/)
