Shwe is a unisex name of Burmese origin, derived from the Pali word "śubha", meaning beautiful or fortunate. It is pronounced similar to "shway". This name has been used traditionally in Burma (Myanmar) for both boys and girls, reflecting the cultural practice of not assigning gender-specific names. Shwe is also found among other Southeast Asian communities due to historical influences and migration patterns.
"Shwe is quite rare; only six children were named Shwe in 2018."
