But in Emacs left Win key gives me Hyper and left Alt >> gives me Meta. In X11, modifiers have two names: there's the "Sym" name associated with the key, and then there's the mapping to which Sym name is used for which modifier bit. Remapping key names ("Sym"s) is not sufficient to change the modifier to which they're associated (or to mark them as a modifier). So, check the output of "xmodmap", which will probably show that your "Meta_L" is mapped to the "mod5" modifier, which is traditionally interpreted as "hyper", tho IIRC this mapping between modifier bits and the corresponding name is more subtle and not completely standardized.
