Yuma is Japanese in Origin.
Yuma is a cross-cultural given name with strong Japanese and Native American associations. In Japan it is typically masculine and pronounced YOO-ma (Yuma/Yuuma/Yuuma; also Yūma with a long u). Meanings vary with kanji: 悠真 ("calm, remote" + "true"), 優真 ("gentle" + "true"), 祐/佑馬 ("help, protect" + "horse"), 勇馬 ("brave" + "horse"), among others. The name rose in popularity from the 1990s into the 2000s, part of a trend favoring soft, two-mora boys' names ending in -ma. Common romanizations and variants include Yūma, Yuuma, and Youma.
Beyond Japan, Yuma is the long-standing ethnonym applied to the Quechan people of the lower Colorado River; its exact etymology is debated, often glossed broadly as "the people" or linked to river life. As a given name in the United States and elsewhere, Yuma is rare and generally unisex, sometimes chosen for ties to Yuma, Arizona. Not to be confused with the separate Japanese names Yume or Yuna.
