Acaimo or Acaymo was a Guanche mencey of Tacoronte, on the island of Tenerife at the time of the Spanish conquest in the 15th century. He formed an alliance against the Spaniards with the mencey Beneharo and the mencey Bencomo.
== Biography == === Family and Descendancy === Acaimo descended from the first mencey of Tacoronte, who was called "Rumén" or "Romén" by Juan Núñez de la Peña. During the division of the island, which occurred after the death of his father, Tinerfe the Great, in the late fourteenth century, Acaimo took his father's territory. However, the scholar Juan Álvarez Delgado says that Aniaga is the parent of Acaimo, and Acaimo's full name is Acaimo Daniaga. From Peña, Aniaga married a sister of Acaimo de Güímar, and because of this, she gave another name to her son.
