What does Nori mean?
2 syllables

Nori is the Japanese word for the edible seaweed used to wrap sushi rolls, made from red algae that's harvested, pressed, and dried into thin sheets. The word has been fully absorbed into English food vocabulary.

Nori is short, breezy, and a little playful - a natural fit for a small, dark-coated dog with a curious nature.
