There are many theories as to the origin of the curious name "Tum Yeto." The most likely, and most popular, theory is that the company originally did not have a name, but derived one from the 1-800 number that they signed up for; 1-800-886-9386 on a standard telephone keypad can be read as "1-800-TUM-YETO."
