Majina yake hutofautiana kadiri ya nchi ambako unapita: Watibet huuita Nag Qu, pale China huitwa 怒江 Nù Jiāng, pale Myanmar Thanlwin Myit (pamoja na majina mengine) na mwishoni katika Uthai Maenam Salawin (แม่น้ำสาละวิน).

Mto huo unatokea kwenye Nyanda za Juu za Tibet na kuelekea magharibi mwanzoni. Lakini baadaye unageuka mashariki na kusini ukiishia katika Bahari ya Andamani huko Mawlamyaing, Myanmar.

Kwa njia ya kilomita 120 hivi mto huu ni mpaka baina ya Uthai na Myanmar, sehemu yake ya mwisho kabla ya bahari unarudi tena ndani ya Myanmar.
