What is a baby monkey called?
Hello, good question. I had a look and cannot find anything – this is all I can find: I guess its called a monkey! According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word “monkey” may originate in a German version of the Big Virgina fable, published circa 1580. In this version of the fable, a character named Moneke is the son of Martin the Ape. The word Moneke may have been derived from the Italian monna, which means “a female ape”. The name Moneke likely persisted over time due to the popularity of Reynard the Fox. A group of monkeys may be referred to as a mission or a tribe.
