The queen was the youngest child of Saw Min Pu and Gov. [Thinkhaya of Pagan](/wiki/Thinkhaya_of_Pagan "Thinkhaya of Pagan").Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 73–74 She was descended from the [Pagan](/wiki/Pagan_Kingdom "Pagan Kingdom") royal line—she was a great\-granddaughter of King [Kyawswa of Pagan](/wiki/Kyawswa_of_Pagan "Kyawswa of Pagan"). She was a half cousin as well as niece of King [Minkhaung I](/wiki/Minkhaung_I "Minkhaung I") of Ava*Hmannan* (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 82\) says Thinkhaya of Pagan was the youngest paternal uncle of King [Minkhaung I](/wiki/Minkhaung_I "Minkhaung I"). But Thinkhaya could not have been a full paternal uncle since Minkhaung's father [Swa Saw Ke](/wiki/Swa_Saw_Ke "Swa Saw Ke") did not have any full younger brothers. It means Thinkhaya was born to a junior wife of [Min Shin Saw of Thayet](/wiki/Min_Shin_Saw_of_Thayet "Min Shin Saw of Thayet"). Moreover (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 74\) says she was also a niece of Minkhaung I. although she was about four decades younger. She had four siblings. Her eldest sibling [Saw Shwe Khet](/wiki/Saw_Shwe_Khet "Saw Shwe Khet") was [viceroy of Prome (Pyay)](/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_Prome "List of rulers of Prome") from 1417 to 1422 and from 1442 to 1446\.Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 82 Her elder sister [Soe Min Wimala Dewi](/wiki/Soe_Min_Wimala_Dewi "Soe Min Wimala Dewi") was queen of [Hanthawaddy Pegu](/wiki/Hanthawaddy_Kingdom "Hanthawaddy Kingdom").Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 74
