EN: to appoint; to name to a position
This is the more formal, Spanish-loanword version of 'to appoint.' It's what happens in government or big corporations. When the President picks a new cabinet secretary, he doesn't just 'choose' them, he 'nanunumbrahan' them. It has that official, stamped-and-sealed, 'may position ka na' vibe.
From Spanish 'nombrar' (to name, to appoint). Tagalog form is `mang-` + `nombra` + `-han`.
A formal term used in legal, political, or corporate contexts.
