Hawaiian Name Finder, Built Around Meaning
A searchable directory of 1,392 Hawaiian names with meanings, pronunciation, gender labels, syllable counts, and word-by-word construction.
Field notes
The directory combines lookup and construction: entries can be filtered by gender, meaning, initial, and syllable length, then opened to reveal pronunciation and component words. The page reports 1,392 names and organizes them into categories including ocean, water, flower, sky, heaven, and warrior; its example renders Kailani as kai plus lani, “sea and sky.” It also provides dedicated paths for last names, islands, Polynesian names, and frequently asked questions.
