"Benchamatheputhit" from Sanskrit language pancha (เบญจ / Pañca) meaning five, maha meaning great, deva meaning god, and Uthit (อุทิศ / Uddissa) meaning "dedicated to" or "in honor of", thus "dedicated to five great gods" or "in honor of five great gods".

History

In 1910, people in Phetchaburi donated 2,700 baht to build a statue of King Rama V to commemorate the palace Ram Palace (Wang Ban Puen Palace), but was not used. King Rama V died on October 23, 1910. Phyathai Srisawat was governor of Phetchaburi at that time. He asked to use the donation to build a provincial women's school. Named Benchamatheputhit School, the first teaching session was held on 1 August 1917.
