Naothingkhong

Meidingu Hongnemyoi Khunjao Naothingkhong (Old Manipuri: Meitingu Hongnemyoi Khunchao Naothingkhong[6]) was a Meetei ruler of Ningthouja dynasty of Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak).

He ran away from the Kangla at the age of about 10 or 12 years and went to live along the Shelloi Langmais in the Nongmaiching Hill in the eastern Manipur.

This is the first reference to the matrilocal residence in the history of Manipuri ethnicity.

[11][12][13] Besides, the great-grandson of Luwang Ningthou Punshiba (from his first wife) married Naothingkhong's daughter.

[21] The Meitei family Lourembam of the Ningthouja dynasty branch appeared during the reign of Naothingkhong.
