Watch | Let Nora the adorable polar bear steal your heart

A polar bear cub who has been an internet star since the day she was born has been given a name - Nora.

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium uploaded the video announcing Nora's name onto their social media profile on February 4. The video has since gained 1.2 million views.

The name was selected after the zoo held a world-wide poll on what to call the three-month old bear, between January 19 - February 3.

Votes were cast from 115 different countries including United States, France, Brazil and Canada as well as the United Kingdom.

The name Nora is a mix of the cub's parent names, her father Nanuq and her mother Aurora. Nora was born on November 6, 2015.
