Maung is a unisex given name of Burmese origin, meaning 'hero'. It has been traditionally used among the Bamar ethnic group in Myanmar and is also found among other Southeast Asian communities. The name Maung is often shortened to Maung as a term of address for men, similar to the use of 'Mr.' in English-speaking cultures.
