In Burmese names, Min is an honorific, not a surname.

Min Nemi (Burmese: မင်းနေမိ, pronounced: [mɪ́ɴ nèmḭ]) was governor of Toungoo (Taungoo) from 1399 to 1408/09.[1][note 1] He was also a military commander, whose regional army consisted of 60 war elephants, and fought in the Forty Years' War. He ruled for nearly ten years.[1]

Notes

  1. Standard chronicles Hmannan (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 434) and Maha Yazawin (Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 304) say Swa Saw Ke appointed Min Nemi in 760 ME (29 March 1398 to 28 March 1399). But the Taungoo chronicle Toungoo Yazawin (Sein Lwin Lay 2006: 25–26) says Nemi assumed office in 761 ME (29 March 1399 to 27 March 1400). It appears that Min Nemi's appointment occurred in late 760 ME (January to March 1399) and Min Nemi arrived at the city in early 761 ME (March to April 1399).
