Hawaiian Names

Hawaiian names are deeply rooted in the culture and history of the Hawaiian Islands. Traditionally, names are chosen based on their meanings, often reflecting nature, family lineage, or significant events. Many Hawaiian names are derived from the natural environment, with elements such as 'kai' meaning 'sea' and 'lani' meaning 'heaven' being popular choices.

In Hawaiian culture, names are considered to carry mana, or spiritual power, and thus are chosen with great care. Family names often honor ancestors, while personal names may be given in celebration of a child's birth circumstances or to convey hopes for their future. The use of 'okina (a glottal stop) and kahakō (macron) in spelling is also significant, as it affects pronunciation and meaning, making Hawaiian names unique and rich in cultural significance.
