^Her name Saw Pa Oh (စောပအို) was not a typical name—royal, commoner or otherwise. As seen in (Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 270) and (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 172), the name was a variant spelling of a village in Sagaing named Saw Put Oh (စောပွတ်အိုး) where King Saw Yun founded a hereditary cavalry battalion in 1318/19. Thus Saw Pa Oh may have been a title of the queen, signifying that she was given Saw Pa Oh in fief.
