What the names of the orange manuls from Yerevan Zoo mean
Dear friends, let’s enjoy a new photos of sunny orange floofs, which Yerevan Zoo generously shared today on their social media!
Nano and Mano 🧡
🤓 And now it’s time to find out what their names mean:
♂️ Manó (Մանո) — a common male name in Western Armenian and among the Armenian diaspora, formed as a shortened version of the name Manuk. The meaning of the word and the name Manuk: “child,” “infant,” or “little one.”
♀️ Nanó (Նանո) — a shortened form of the name Nanor (Նանոր) or Nané (Նանե). Nané is a female name found in ancient Armenian folklore and traditional songs. In Western Armenian, besides being a female name, Nané also means “mother.”

Oh! Mother and child 😁
But isn’t she his mother in real life? They’re only a year apart, so she totally could be 🤔
Анна, Yes, it’s interesting to know the backstory)))
Анна, Hehe, I think that’s a hint about who’s in charge there 😁
Vika Malyshkoverified_filled ,
That's good, then 🙏
Today on Insta, in Nune's account, in the comments under Mano's new photo, Nune asked someone: "For my manul lovers, how did the little manuls end up in the zoo?" — that's if my translator translated it correctly 🙏
SHE'S SO GORGEOUS I'M MESMERIZED
Is it even legal to be this beautiful?
This last photo = pure, tender cuteness.
Yes, yes, we remember, we remember. It’s impossible to forget those Manulian Games 2026, where Nano and Mano took gold in the Pair Purr-Purr event.
