What does Kuma mean?
2 syllables

Kuma is the Japanese word for "bear," used both for the animal itself and, informally, as an affectionate name for someone (or something) with a bear-like sturdiness or cuddliness.

Kuma is short, sturdy, and a little cute — a natural fit for a pet who's built solid, moves with a bit of a lumber, or just gives off strong teddy-bear energy.
