Couple of links that show their form of spelling.  I always called it the Nana Entertainment Complex.

Photos are great. Thank you!

It has always been known as Nana Entertainment Plaza (leastaways as long as I can remember)

Bernard Trink always referred to it (in his weekly page in the Bangkok Post) as Nana Entertainment Plaza or NEP (and whether you liked him or hated him, he did know his way around town)

Michael's photographs confirm the above beyond any possible doubt.

So where this "complex" came from search me

Never knew that until recently and I had maybe a 1000 drinks in there.

That's why I asked in the first place. In a book about BKK it was called "Nana Plaza", though.

I believe that is a reference to the mental state and not a location.

It all depends how "complex" you want it to be.   Just call it "Nana" and most Thais and farangs alike will usually guess you are not heading for the boat jetty at the klong on Soi 3 (unless you are already on the boat, that is).
I once asked a Thai girl what "Nana" meant and she told me it meant "In to" which seemed appropriate.   I think it in fact it is the Thai word for "inter" as in international etc.   Any confirmation on that?

A case for the Thai language board.

I was under the impression that it was the name of the family who own the land it's built on.

My teacher told me is meant 'various'/'mixed', similar to 'inter' I guess??

"Nana Plaza (officially Nana Entertainment Plaza; shortened NEP) is a red-light district in Bangkok. It lies on Sukhumvit Road Soi 4 across from the Nana hotel (13°44′28.4″N, 100°33′12.4″E) and allegedly takes its name from an Indian family that owns the land."
