"Hanukiah" or "Menorah"? Are they the same thing?

"Hanukiah" or "Menorah"? Are they the same thing? by Rabbi Simcha Bart

Menorah is the Hebrew term for any manmade light source such as a candelabrum, for example. When Modern Hebrew came about, the term Menorah was used for any light source including electric room lighting. So the term Hanukiah was invented to differentiate between a common household electric lamp and the Chanukah Menorah.

In the Diaspora, where Hebrew isn’t the vernacular and this isn't an issue, the word Menorah is used almost exclusively to describe The Temple Candelabrum of seven branches, and the eight-branch one we light on Chanukah.
