Hawaiian Girl Names

  1. Kina
    • Origin:

      Hawaiian, Swedish
    • Meaning:

      "short form"
    • Description:

      The Hawaiian form of Gina or Tina (as well as the word for the country China), or in Swedish, a short form of Katharina or Kristina.
  2. Kaimana
    • Origin:

      Hawaiian
    • Meaning:

      "the power of the ocean"
    • Description:

      This Hawaiian name gracefully celebrates the force of nature, paying tribute to the ocean. If you're looking for unique names that mean ocean, this should be on your short list.
  3. Iolana
    • Origin:

      Hawaiian
    • Meaning:

      "soaring like a hawk"
    • Description:

      Iolana is a hip-swaying, melodic, and unusual choice. Similar Hawaiian bird-themed choice: Iolani.
  4. Auli'i
    • Origin:

      Hawaiian, 'dainty, cute, neat'
    • Description:

      Hawaiian teen prodigy Auli'i Cravalho burst onto the scene as the star of Disney's animated "Moana" in 2016, bringing this distinctive name to the forefront. The glottal stop, or "okina," between the two I's makes it a somewhat tough sell off the islands, though Cravalho's stunning performance of "How Far I'll Go" at the 2017 Oscars is almost winning enough to overcome that.
  5. Lala
    • Origin:

      Slavic
    • Meaning:

      "laurel"
    • Description:

      If it's possible for a name to be too musical, this one is.
  6. Luanna
    • Description:

      Luanna is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a combination of the names Lou and Anna, or a variation of Luanna, which combines Latin "lux" (light) with Anna (grace). In some cases, it's considered a Hawaiian name meaning "peaceful" or "content." Luanna gained modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. The name has a melodious quality with its flowing vowels and gentle consonants, giving it a romantic, somewhat vintage appeal. While never extremely common, Luanna offers an intriguing alternative to more popular names like Leanna, Luanne, or Luana, with similar sounds but a distinctive character.

  7. Kiele
    • Description:

      Kiele is a feminine name with Hawaiian origins, typically pronounced as "kee-EH-leh." In Hawaiian, it means 'fragrant blossom' or can refer specifically to the gardenia flower, which holds cultural significance in Hawaii. The name embodies natural beauty and the tropical essence of the islands. Beyond Hawaii, Kiele has gained modest recognition through occasional use in popular culture. Its exotic sound and straightforward pronunciation make it accessible to non-Hawaiian speakers while maintaining its cultural authenticity. The name provides a subtle connection to Hawaiian heritage without being among the more commonly appropriated Hawaiian names. Kiele appeals to parents drawn to nature-inspired names with genuine cultural roots and a melodic quality that works well in diverse linguistic settings.
