The baby cotton top tamarin born six months ago at the Chattanooga Zoo has been named Maya.

The zoo had more than 500 entries during itscontest to select the newest resident of the zoo’s name, said the zoo’s spokeswoman Robin Derryberry.

The name Maya is associated with the Roman goddess of spring, who gave her name to the fifth calendar month of the year, which was when this small monkey was born, zoo officials said.
