This name is Mongolian and means "little tiger." The way you should pronounce it is with a long "U" and roll the "R" at the end. That's the local way. I had help from my buddy in choosing the name because I wanted him to have a Mongolian one. It really doesn't matter though because he doesn't even understand that this is his name yet anyway. He also doesn't understand the carpet (never the tile) is not his toilet. It's kinda cute to have a puppy and what not but at the end of the day it's a little crazy to take care of this little guy. Not sure I want to do this without having a backyard in the future. However, he's my new companion.
