Burmese people, both men and women, have no names. Therefore, they usually add a title before their names to distinguish men and women, old and young, social status and rank.

Generally speaking, Burmese men generally call themselves "looks" to show their modesty, and they also call themselves "looks" to the younger generation, which means "younger brother" here; For peers or young people, it is called "Guo", which means "brother"; For elders or people with high status, it is called "Wu", which means "uncle" or "uncle". For example, a person's name is Yong Xu, and people can add different titles before his name according to his different status. For example, if you are a junior, you will be called "Mao Yongxu"; if you are an elder, you will be called "Wu Yongxu".

At the same time, the names of Burmese officers are different. If he were an officer, people would call him "Saiya Yongxu", but he would still call himself "Xu Maoyong". "Deqin" is another famous title in Myanmar, which means "master". In the era of Myanmar's struggle for independence, patriots like to add this title before their names to express their ambition and free will to become national heroes.

Women in Myanmar usually call themselves "horses", which means "sisters", while older or higher-ranking women, whether married or not, are called "Du", which means menstruation and aunt.

For example, if an older woman's name is Xianxian, she will call herself Ma Xianxian, and people can call her Ma Xianxian or Du Xianxian. Unlike China, Myanmar women still use their own names after marriage because they have no surnames.
