The name of the river comes from the Yakut language tumara, meaning "tundra". ==Course== The Tumara originates in the slopes of the southwestern Verkhoyansk Range. In the upper section of its course the river displays all the characteristics of a mountain river, flowing roughly southwards within a deep and narrow valley bound by steep slopes that cuts across the Kelter (Көлтөр) and Munni (Мунний) ranges.
