Yangon means (End of Strife’), formerly known as Rangoon, is the capital of the Yangon Region and the largest city of Myanmar (also known as Burma). Yangon served as the capital of Myanmar until 2006. With over 7 million people, Yangon is Myanmar’s most populous city and its most important commercial center.
The name Yangon is derived from the combination of the Burmese words yan and koun which mean ‘enemies’ and ‘run out of’, respectively. This word combination is commonly translated as ‘End of Strife’.
