Narameikhla Min Saw Mon (Arakanese:နရမိတ်လှ မင်းစောမွန်, Burmese pronunciation:[nəɹa̰meiʔl̥a̰mɪ́ɰ̃sɔ́mʊ̀ɰ̃], Arakanese transliteration: Meng Sao Mwan, Arakanese pronunciation: [máɰ̃sɔ́mʊ̀aɰ̃]; also known as Suleiman Shah; 1380–1433) was the last king of Launggyet Dynasty and the founder of Mrauk-U Dynasty of Arakan.
He became king in 1404 but was driven out of Launggyet in 1406 by Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa of Ava. He sought refuge in the Bengal Sultanate, and later entered the military service of Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah. In 1429, he reclaimed the Arakanese throne with the help of the sultan, and ruled the kingdom. He founded a new capital, Mrauk-U, in 1430 at a more strategic location. The king died in 1433, and was succeeded by his younger brother Khayi.
