I had to search a little to find this, but after a little Surfing and correcting the spelling, I was brought back to Wiki. Well folks, here it is...

U Thant (Burmese: ဦးသန့်; MLCTS: u:san.; pronounced [ú θa̰N]; January 22, 1909 - November 25, 1974) was a Burmese diplomat and the third Secretary-General of the United Nations, from 1961 to 1971. He was chosen for the post when his predecessor Dag Hammarskjöld was killed in an aviation accident in September 1961. "U" is an honorific in Burmese, roughly equal to "Mister." "Thant" was his only name. In Burmese he was known as Pantanaw U Thant, a reference to his home town of Pantanaw.
