The title was first used by the rulers of the Ningthouja dynasty, which founded the kingdom of Manipur in the 14th century. The title was later adopted by the rulers of other smaller princely states in Manipur.
The title Ningthou is still used today by the descendants of the rulers of the Ningthouja dynasty and other smaller princely states in Manipur. The title is also used as a respectful term for any man of high social status in Manipur.
