I almost always see languages call it cumsum rather than 
cumulativeSum.

R - 
https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/cumsum.html
Matlab - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/cumsum.html
Python - 
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.cumsum.html

The only exceptions I could find were languages that called it 
something else, like Accumulate in Mathematica or the scan 
functions noted in the cumulativeFold function doc.

In practice, I would probably just create an alias.
