Narameikhla Min Saw Mon (Burmese: နရမိတ်လှ မင်းစောမွန်, Burmese pronunciation: [nəɹa̰ meiʔl̥a̰ mɪ́ɴ sɔ́ mʊ̀ɴ], Arakanese pronunciation: [máɴ sɔ́ mʊ̀aɴ]; 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 went into exile in Bengal, and later entered the military service of Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah. In the 1429 Reconquest of Arakan, he reclaimed the Arakanese throne with the help of the sultan, and ruled the kingdom, which was still restricted to northern Arakan, as a vassal of Bengal. 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.
The future king was born in 1380/81 (742 ME) to Prince Razathu II (ရာဇသူ) and Princess Saw Nyet Htwa (စောညက်ထွား) of Launggyet Kingdom, located in modern northern Rakhine State. The young prince's teenage years were drawn into court politics, and his fortunes were closely tied to those of his father. His father Razathu became king but he was deposed in 1395. He regained the throne in 1397 until his death in 1401. Razathu's younger brother Theinkhathu (သိင်္ခသူ) succeeded Razathu, who died in 1404.
