Your Name In Hawaiian - English to Hawaiian Name Translation

Names in Hawaiian are never just labels. They carry mana (spiritual power), family history, and a direct line to the land and ocean of the islands. In the table below, we've gathered the ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) version of hundreds of the most common English names so you can discover how yours sounds in the language of Hawaiʻi.

Once you've found yours, engrave it on a piece of custom Hawaiian jewelry.

Don't see your name? Choose a name with meaning instead.

Not every English name has a one-to-one match, and you don't need one. Many of the most beloved Hawaiian names aren't translations at all, but words chosen for what they mean. A few favorites woven into the tables above:

• Leilani: heavenly child / heavenly lei
• Kuʻuipo: my sweetheart
• Nani: beauty, beautiful
• Puanani: beautiful flower
• Hokulani: star of the sky
• Makamae: precious, much desired
• Pualani: heavenly flower
• Noelani: heavenly mist
• Kuʻualoha: my beloved

Make your Hawaiian name something you can keep

Once you've found the name that feels right, there's no more meaningful way to hold onto it than wearing it. An engraved heirloom bracelet, a name pendant, a necklace, or a personalized ring turns a few letters of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi into a keepsake.
