For hunting, I along with my friends went to Niihau Island. I enjoyed spending hours over there along with learning the Hawaiian language and its history. I thought of sharing a few names here which I found really impressive as they have great meanings.
The words are Keanu, Nakoa, Leilani, Naia, Ahe, Akamu, Hanini, Iokepa, Kahiau, Kawikani, Kealohi. Among these, I liked Hanini the most which mean to pour down like rain.

A few names my mother selected were Kekepania (woman with crown), Kealohi (brightness of a star), Hani (happy), Aheahe (gentle breeze) and Keonaona (soft aroma). My sister liked Keonaona the most among these.
