Correct! She was honestly the “world’s cutest kitten cat” and so that’s why we chose the name.

We didn’t know she was a girl until later so we changed the spelling from Nermal.

OP, what's the story behind her name? It has a nice meaning in Hindi. Just wondering if that's why you chose the name. It's honestly such a good name but very rare!

OK, friend Bunnai...now you have tell us all what that name means in Hindi! We can't wait! 😊

In Nepali it means pure or clean. I'd assume it's the same in Hindi.

It means clean or pure. It's not a term used colloquially; usually used in sacred contexts or poems, and also happens to be boys' name. Cats being so obsessively clean makes the name apt!
