The name Techo (Khmer: តេជោ) is a title given to army commanders by the King of Cambodia and Takhmao (Khmer: តាខ្មៅ) literally means 'Dark Old Man' or 'Black Grandfather'.
Prime Minister Hun Sen announced the new name on 9 December 2021 while inspecting the new airport. The word "Techo" is referenced from Khmer history in which the king granted titles to former Khmer army commanders Techo Meas and Techo Yort who operated in the territory of Kandal Province. He also stated that "Techo" shows the strength of the kingdom's monarchy.
