Saw Omma (Burmese: စောဥမ္မာ, pronounced: [sɔ́ òʊɴmà]) was the chief queen consort of four consecutive kings of Pinya and Ava Kingdoms from 1350 to 1367. Descended from Pagan and Myinsaing–Pinya royal lines, the queen was well known for her beauty, and was selected as the chief queen of the last three kings of Pinya: Kyawswa II, Narathu and Uzana II. After the death of her fourth husband King Thado Minbya of Ava in 1367, she and her fifth husband Nga Nu unsuccessfully tried to seize the Ava throne. Her brother King Swa Saw Ke, who succeeded Thado Minbya, pardoned her but also married her off to the commander who captured her.
Saw Omma was born Ommadanti (ဥမ္မာဒန္တီ, [ʔòʊɴmàdàɴni];Pali: Ummādantī) to Shin Myat Hla and Min Shin Saw, governor of Thayet c. 1333. She was a granddaughter of King Kyawswa of Pagan and a grand-niece of King Thihathu of Pinya. The princess was the youngest child of six. Her siblings included Governor Shwe Nan Shin of Myinsaing, Governor Saw Yan Naung of Prome and King Swa Saw Ke of Ava.
