It took a few months, but the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium's new polar bear cub now has a name: Nora.

The zoo announced the name this morning following a a public online vote that drew participants from 115 countries.

"We are thrilled and inspired that so many people around the world helped name this young polar bear," said Tom Stalf, president and CEO of the zoo. "We hope that those who have been watching Nora grow will continue to do so throughout her life, and remember that we all have a role to play in protecting wild polar bears for generations to come."

The name was picked from four options provided by the zoo: Nora, a combination of the cub�s parents� names, Nanuq and Aurora; Kaya, meaning �little but wise�; Sakari, meaning �sweet�; and Desna, meaning �boss.�

No word yet on when Nora will be introduced to the public. She continues to be cared for at the zoo's animal health center.
