Hyuma is Japanese in Origin.

Hyuma (pronounced HYOO-ma) is a rare Japanese masculine name whose meaning varies with the kanji chosen. A well-known spelling is 飛雄馬 - combining characters for “to fly” (飛), “heroic male” (雄), and “horse” (馬) - conveying speed, strength, and daring. Because name readings in Japanese are flexible, Hyuma may also appear in katakana as ヒューマ for a modern, phonetic look.

The name gained broad recognition in the late 1960s through the classic baseball manga and anime Kyojin no Hoshi, featuring protagonist Hoshi Hyūma, which gave the name a brief burst of popularity but it remains uncommon today. Variant romanizations include Hyūma (macron) and Hyuuma (doubled vowel), with closely related but distinct forms Hyoma/Hyōma (e.g., 兵馬, 豹馬) using a different vowel. Note that Yūma/Yuma is a separate, more common name. Overall, Hyuma suggests vigor, ambition, and forward motion.
