Shaviyani Atoll, which is known by its abbreviated name[1] (also known as Northern Miladhunmadulu Atoll or Miladhunmadulu Uthuruburi), is an Administrative division of the Maldives. It corresponds to the northern section of the natural Miladhunmadulu Atoll,[2] located in the north of the Maldives.

  1. ^ Each atoll administrative division in the Maldives has two names: one name that generally corresponds to the name natural atoll where it is located, and one name that is a one-letter Dhivehi abbreviation. (These letter names are often multisyllabic.) Tim Godfrey, Atlas of the Maldives, Atoll Editions 2004.
  2. ^ The Maldivian administrative division called an "Atoll" may correspond to multiple natural atolls or only parts of an atoll.
