Minkhaung Medaw (Burmese: မင်းခေါင် မယ်တော်, pronounced [mɪ́ɴɡàʊɴ mɛ̀dɔ̀]; b. c. 1350s) was a Burmese princess in the early Ava period. The youngest daughter of Swa Saw Ke and Khame Mi,[1] she became a princess in 1367 when her father ascended to the Ava throne. The princess was married to Prince Sithu Min Oo of Pinya,[note 2] who was probably at least four decades her senior, perhaps in a marriage alliance arranged by her father. The couple had two children: Sithu Thanbawa and Thray Sithu of Myinsaing.[1] Kings Mingyi Nyo, Tabinshwehti and Nanda of the Toungoo dynasty were descended from her.
The princess was descended from the Pagan royal line from her paternal side.
