Caymus is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is derived from the Spanish word 'cáñamo', which translates to 'hemp'. This connection gives Caymus a rustic and earthy appeal. The name has gained some recognition due to its usage by notable individuals such as Caymus Grier, a professional surfer known for his innovative approach in big wave surfing. However, it remains relatively rare, offering a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child. Pronounced like 'KAY-mus', this two-syllable name has a pleasant rhythm and is easy to pronounce and spell. It is often associated with nature, given its direct link to the plant world.
In 2004 alone, there were six babies named Caymus.
