> Curcumin suggests by its name that cumin would also act as an anti-inflammatory
I can't speak to the anti-inflammatory activity of cumin, but it is a coincidence of name that cumin and curcumin are similar. There is none of the latter in the former.
Curcumin derives from the genus name for turmeric, Cucurma.
