Kaituma is a toponymic given name tied to northwestern Guyana, where the Kaituma River and Port Kaituma appear on maps from the early 20th century. The word itself is of Indigenous Guianan origin - likely from a Cariban or Arawakan language of the region - but its precise meaning has not been securely documented in linguistic literature. As a personal name, it thus carries the sense of “from (the) Kaituma” rather than a single translatable lexeme.

As a baby name, Kaituma remains rare and is used across genders, most often within Guyanese and wider Caribbean diasporas. Variant spellings are uncommon; the form is usually kept intact, though stylizations like Kai Tuma occur. Nicknames include Kai and Tuma. Its geographic roots give it a modern, place-anchored character, while the familiar opening element Kai helps international pronunciation and blends it with names like Kaia or Kaimana.
