Where does the name Uma come from?
Uma means “flax” in Sanskrit, says Behind the Name, and it is another name of the Hindu goddess Parvati. Hindu texts say it comes from the Sanskrit exclamation u mā, “O do not (practice austerities)!”, which Parvati’s mother said to her. Wikipedia adds that umā can also mean “tranquillity,” “splendour,” “fame” and “night,” so the name is rich in meanings.
Other forms of Uma
Behind the Name lists no separate short forms or variants for Uma, which is already brief. Wikipedia’s page links it with Una, Oona and Oonagh in a see-also list, but those are different names with their own roots.
Well-known Umas
Uma Thurman, born April 29, 1970, is an American actress. Wikipedia says she rose to international prominence as Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994), earning an Academy Award nomination, and played the Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Volume 2 (2003 and 2004).
Uma’s popularity
Uma never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s top chart for it shows Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it ranked 25th in 2024 with 76 uses and was 16 years on the chart from 2009. Its last top-1,000 year in England and Wales was 2007, at 987th.
A few more things about Uma
Wikipedia’s list of Umas includes Uma Bharti, an Indian politician, and Uma Krishnaswami, an Indian author. It also lists fictional Umas: the villain of Disney’s Descendants 2 and Descendants 3, and a main character in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Polynesian tale “The Beach of Falesá.” Behind the Name files the name under flowers, flora, fabric and goddesses, since the Sanskrit word for flax is the same as the goddess’s name.

A notebook for every Uma
Uma’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Uma’s Notebook” on the cover tells Uma it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
