Hawaiian Baby Names — Ocean, Sky & Meaning

Hawaiian names sit at the intersection of three huge search lanes: nature, ocean, and unisex. That is why they get borrowed so casually, and why they deserve more care than a vowel-forward aesthetic.

This page stays with Hawaiian-origin names in our catalog that have a meaning we can print. Pronunciation is not optional — vowels do different work here than they do in English.
