"Do you know why Myanmar is called Myanmar?

Myanmar is called Myanmar because it is far away from China and the road is impassable, which means far away. Because the border area between China and Myanmar is called Yunnan Mountain, it is collectively called Myanmar, that is, the remote valley. The English name Burma comes from Brahma in Deleng and is related to Brahma or Sanskrit.

Burmese people call themselves Bama and Myamma in Sanskrit, both of which mean powerful. It is said that this is a tribute to their own nation. Some people think that Brahma is the name given to local residents by early immigrants here, and it also means strongman.

Burmese people don't have surnames, so they usually put an article in front of their names to show their gender, age, identity and status. Young people call themselves "Maung" (meaning younger brother) to show modesty. They also call themselves "Maung" to the younger generation or teenagers, "Ko" to their peers or brothers, and "U" to their elders or people in position.
