Cayman

Meaning of Cayman

The name Cayman is a distinctive and strong choice for a baby boy, pronounced as KAY-mən (/ˈkeɪ.mən/). It has its roots in the name of the Cayman Islands, which were named after the caiman, a type of reptile similar to an alligator. This name evokes images of tropical beauty and exotic wildlife, making it an attractive option for parents looking for something unique yet grounded in nature. The variation "Caiman" offers an alternative spelling that retains the same pronunciation and essence. Over the years, Cayman has seen fluctuating popularity in the United States, with notable occurrences since 1985.
