Morphology

Ping + river

This is a straightforward place-name formed from the proper name 'Ping' plus the noun 'river'; a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a river called Ping (i.e., a watercourse). The NAME + river composition is cross-linguistically common, so the basic referential meaning is transparently derivable even if specific geographic details (e.g., tributary status) require extra knowledge.

Etymology

Ping River may come from an old village or a group of people called 'Ping' who lived by the water, so locals began to call that stream the 'Ping' river. That's why today Ping River simply means the river called Ping in northern Thailand.
