Maung Ko

Maung Ko is a common Burmese name, typically used for males. In Burmese naming conventions, "Maung" (မောင်) is a title used as a respectful form of address for younger men, roughly equivalent to "Mr." or "young man" in English. "Ko" (ကို) is a Burmese name element and, on its own, is also used as a respectful title for an older or same-aged man. The combination, Maung Ko, creates a given name commonly found in Myanmar. As with many Burmese names, there is often no surname or family name, so a person might be known solely as Maung Ko throughout their life. The name's popularity and specific origins aren't directly tied to any particular historical figure or event, but are rather rooted in general Burmese naming practices and social customs.
