köken: Of unclear ultimate origin but probably from the second element of nigálya-pónya, a form recorded by Brian Houghton Hodgson and possibly ultimately derived from regional Tibetan ཕོ་ཉ (pho nya), whose usual meaning is “messenger”.
aile: panda éclatant, panda fuligineux, panda géant, panda roux, petit panda
köken: From Byzantine Greek πάντα (pánta), from Ancient Greek πάντα (pánta), accusative of πᾶς (pâs, “whole”), from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂nts; cf. also παν (pan). Cognate with Pontic Greek πάντα (pánta).
köken: gấu (“bear”) + trúc (竹) (“a kind of bamboo”). Sometimes gấu mèo (literally “cat bear”) can be seen used as a synonym, but this is mostly seen in translation of Chinese sources that use 貓熊 /猫熊 (māoxióng). In Vietnamese, gấu mèo usually refers to the raccoon.
