I need a Hawaiian last name?

Does anybody know someone Hawaiin, it's needs to be a real last name.





I already have a first name but I can't find any last names online.

I need a Hawaiian last name?
Kealoha is the most beautiful Hawaiian last name that I know.
Reply:What do you need it for? If it's for yourself, you have to marry a Hawaiian to have a Hawaiian last name. Hawaiians take their culture very seriously (as they should) and names aren't just "given out" for fun.





If you need a Hawaiian surname for a story you're writing, here are a few:


(as the other poster said) Kinimaka, Kahamoku, Mahuiki, Kahanamoku, Maka...
Reply:To add what "aloha.girl59" has said about names, names have meaning and power. I hesitate to give you "real" names, because they would be the surnames of people I know, and I really don't know what you want it for. As silly and superstitious as this may sound to most westerners, my (step)Dad is descended from strong Kahuna, and I have a very healthy respect for native beliefs and customs. I do have a suggestion, though.

The above link is a pretty good Hawaiian Dictionary where you type in a word and get the Hawaiian equivalent. For instance; "strength" translates to "Ikaika", "honor" translates to "Ho'ohanohano". Chances are, something you pick will be an actual name.
