Meaning of hawaiian names?

I want to know what Keli stands for in Hawaiian?

Meaning of hawaiian names?
it doesn't translate into anything in hawaiian
Reply:Here's one definition:





[M膩maka Kaiao(Hwn to Eng)]


keli


kik Cherry. Eng.

Or it might just be "Kelly" spelled with Hawaiian vowels and consonants.





If you're still not satisfied and want to go deeper, since the "ke" is an article meaning "the", "li" means:


l墨





1. nvi. Chills; to have chills; to tremble with cold; shuddery feeling of horror. Cf. hulil墨. L墨 ka 驶ili, l墨 ka 驶i驶o, to have goose flesh. Pi驶i ka l墨, to get chills.





2. nvt. Lace, as of shoes; to lace or tie. Cf. l墨 k膩liki, l墨 k膩ma驶a. E l墨 mai i ke k膩ma驶a o La驶a-kea, tie La驶a-kea's shoes.





3. nvt. To hang, gird; to furl or reef, as a sail. (PNP lii.)





4. n. Third note in musical scale, mi.
