Hmein

Hmein is a toponym used in Myanmar (Burma) to designate several small villages or localities. Because Burmese names are commonly transliterated into the Latin alphabet in a variety of ways, the form "Hmein" may appear with alternative spellings in English-language sources. There is no single, universally recognized place named Hmein; rather, multiple settlements in different townships resemble or bear this name.

In general, Hmein settlements are rural communities situated within Myanmar’s administrative divisions, such as states or regions and districts. They are typically governed at the township level and rely on agriculture, small-scale trade, and local services. Detailed demographic and economic data for individual Hmein villages is usually included in broader census or provincial statistics rather than published as standalone profiles.

Hmein can also occur as a Burmese surname or given name. As with many Burmese names, its bearer patterns do not point to a single historical figure, and notable individuals with this name are not widely documented in standard reference works.

Etymology and transliteration: the syllables in "Hmein" reflect Burmese phonology and often local dialects. The lack of a fixed romanization standard leads to multiple spellings in English, such as Hmein, Hmain, or Hymain in different sources.
