Jumma is Arabic in Origin.
Jumma is a cross-cultural Muslim given name derived from Arabic al-Jumu'ah, 'Friday,' the weekly day of congregational prayer. The underlying Arabic root jama' ('to gather') gives the name the senses 'Friday,' 'day of assembly,' and, by extension, 'born on Friday.' As Islam spread, the term naturalized in many languages (Urdu and Punjabi as Jumma/Jummah, Swahili as Ijumaa with the personal name Juma, and Turkish as Cuma) while keeping its devotional resonance.
Usage is documented from the medieval era across the Indian subcontinent, East Africa, the Gulf, and the Sahel, often chosen to honor the sanctity of Friday. It is typically masculine but can be unisex regionally; Hausa, for instance, favors the feminine form Jummai. Common variants and spellings include Juma, Jummah, Jumuah/Jumu'ah, Cuma, Djuma/Dzhuma, and Malay Jumaat. Related names include Jama/Jaamac (Somali) and Jami.
