Cayman Meaning and Origin

Cayman is a boy’s name of Spanish origin meaning “crocodile.” Alternatively, the name “Cayman” is derived from the word “cay,” which refers to a small, low island or bank of sand or coral in the Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico. The word “cay” itself is of Spanish origin, derived from the Taíno language spoken by the indigenous people of the Caribbean. The name Cayman was not among the top-ranked names in the United States or other English-speaking countries. It might have been used as a given name, but it was likely quite rare. Cayman is a unique and distinctive name with a tropical flair. It evokes a sense of exotic beauty and adventure, reminiscent of the picturesque Cayman Islands.
