So what does the Hawaiian part of that child's name mean, Moki?

Re: Baby names

What throws me off about that name isn't all the Hawaiian, but the "Sapphire." Makes me wonder if the parents are Hawaiian, or serious hippies that wish they were Hawaiian!

A'ali'i: Is a native hardwood shrub; the fruit clusters can be made into lei.

Hia: Delight

'Ai: This can be either a plant food, or it can be one who is the owner of land.

Kananionapua: The beauty of the flowers

Kukulu: Many meanings to this: A pillar or post, to build or construct, to tie or tether, to organize or set up.

nuiahina: large, gray

Leonani : Beautiful voice

Pua'a-Ma'e: Well, obviously da pig, but I think da "ma'e" is a contraction foah sometin else....

I am not fluent in Hawaiian, unfortunately.. but I do know that the literal meaning, and the figurative meanings can be very different. Not to mention the kaona. If you break down the longer names, like Kananionapua, then the meaning becomes very clear. Ka nani o nā pua... oni easy, yeah? But the rest of it would take the one who named the baby to give the intended meaning, I think.

I bet there are others who could give you more help, yeah, but this is to get you started.

Still makes me mad that learning Hawaiian was forbidden in school wen I was growing up!

Re: Baby names

Funny Thread.....
Correct me if I'm wrong...but when you apply for a marriage license in Hawaii , don't you have to put your FULL name on the application? If so, some of these people better learn how to write small!
