Burmese names lack the serial quality of most modern names. The Bamar Burmese people have no customary patronymic or matronymic system and thus there is no surname at all. In Burmese culture, people can change their name at will, often with no government oversight, to reflect a change in the course of their lives. Also, many Burmese names use an honorific , given at some point in life, as an integral part of the name. However, in modern Burma many of these traditions are changing. ref http www.theatlantic.com doc 195802 burma names Burmese Names A Guide. Daw Mi Khaing. The Atlantic.
