Bao Bao was born 100 days ago and will make her public debut next month.
More than 123,000 votes were cast online from Nov. 5-22, with people choosing from five possible names.
Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough, Ambassador Cui Tiankai of the People's Republic of China and State Department Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones revealed her name at a ceremony celebrating the cub's first 100 days of life, a Chinese custom.
When Bao Bao turns 4 years old, the giant panda will be moved to the China Conservation and Research Center in Wolong.
Giant pandas are an endangered species.
