Oo (Burmese: ဦး, pronounced [ʔú]; 27 April 1910 – 11 July 1995), known as Naga Daw Oo (Burmese: နဂါး ဒေါ်ဦး, pronounced [nəgá dɔ̀ ʔú]), was a 20th-century Burmese business tycoon from Mandalay, Myanmar. She is best remembered for her decades-long involvement with the annual Thingyan festivities in Mandalay as well as her contributions to Buddhist causes across the country.[1] She was the first person to receive the title of Agga Maha Thiri Thudhamma Theingi (Pali: Aggamahāsīrisudhammasiṅgī), the highest possible religious title for lay Buddhists in Myanmar.[2]
