Hawaiian Last Names?

What are some Hawaiian last names? I'm creating a character for my story named Kiran. She's out-going, nice, and exotic. Her mother is Japanese and her father is Hawaiian. I've checked Google and such but I can't find Hawaiian surnames.

Hawaiian Last Names?
Here's some Hawaiian surnames: Nihipali (knee-he-pa-lee)


Kahawaii, Kamakeoaina, Nawahine, Pukahi, Kamauoha, Ah-Puck, Kamaauoha, Pouha, Kanekalau, Pula, Alapa,Makaiau





ps - don't let the names intimidate you - they are relatively easy to pronounce. Basically, the vowels are usually pronounced as follows: A is pronounced "Ah"


E is pronounced as a long A as in "hay".


i is pronounced as a long e as in "see".


Ai together is usually the long i sound that you find in the word Hawaii. or in the word eye


The w is sometimes pronounced as a "V"





In Hawaii there is a highway called the LikeLike - no its not pronounced like, like. its pronounced lee-kay-lee-kay.





Hope this helps
Reply:What's wrong with using other names? There are many Hawaiian families that acquired non-Hawaiian surnames due to some mixing way back when or for some other reason. Report Abuse
