Too cool! Mine's Kami . . . now I wonder what it "means"! ;-)

cool! my is Kei

Kuka

Heidi is Heiki - not too far off...

Thanks Galle38 - an interesting factoid!

Here's something else interesting (or useless info depending on your perspective) - Early this morning (Wed.) at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date was:

01:02:03, 04/05/06

That won't ever happen again in our lifetimes.

Pila.

Aloha! Keoni<font color="blue">D :S-</font>

Kaloline

Mine wasn't on the list either, the closest thing to it was...Kolina. Traveladdict, I like that, pretty neat!

Mine's not on the list, either. :( My name is never on a list or souvenir key ring or liscense plate. :( No fair.

Kana.

I think the people without Hawaiian names should just make up something. I'm sure they won't mind. :)

Weniki

Very cool. For me its:
Lali/Larry
Lauleneke/Lawrence

Haka Lu Gee

I'm Kimo
((D))8-)

My name is never on anything like this either :-( So I'm choosing this: Aneka : ( from the name Annette)
:-) I like it

So funny, my husband's and mine are the exact same Hawaiian name (Keli), even though our American names are completely different.

Great site!

Mine is Anela!

Mine is Iwa and I hate that it is linked to a pretty devatating hurricane from a decade or so ago (late 80s I think). Cool site

I'm Kona
DH is Kale

Just like the cheesy (imported) shell lei that are given to visitors when they are in Hawai`i, this &quot;find your Hawaiian name&quot; is strictly for tourists.

A traditional Hawaiian name is given to a child by the chosen family member (usually father or grandmother) -- after careful (and often prolonged) consideration. Names are based on dreams, visions, signs, or something special at the child's birth. True Hawaiian names -- when translated -- tell a story about that person.

For example, my Hawaiian musician friend known by many as Dennis Kamakahi, has a much longer name:
DENNIS DAVID KAHEKILIMAMAOIKALANIKEHA KAMAKAHI
That long middle name translates to &quot;The Distant Thunder In The Highest Heavens&quot; -- which was the sound which greeted his birth.

So enjoy the &quot;Hawaiian names&quot; website, but realize that it's just for fun, 'kay? 8-)

palapa......perfect!

My hawaiian name is &quot; Palapala&quot; but I already knew that. I bought a mug in Kauai with my name on it.

I kinda like &quot;Mikala&quot;....

My name's not there either :(

But I'm guessing it's &quot;Nani.&quot;
