36 Harmonious Hawaiian Boy Names Starting With K

Hawaiian names are chosen carefully, often inspired by dreams, visions, and relatives. These Hawaiian boy names starting with K are reflections of the significance of nature in Hawaiian culture. In the words of Hawaiian scholar and author Mary Kawena Pukui, “A name became a living entity… identified a person and could influence health, happiness and even life span.” Hawaiian names are also indicative of the hierarchy of the family. Usually, names that start with ‘Kealiʻi-’ meaning ‘chief,’ or ending with ‘-lani,’ meaning ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’ are reserved for chiefs. In contrast, people from the lowest class were given names inspired by natural objects. Head over to our list of Hawaiian names for boys ranging from the fierce Koa, which means ‘warrior,’ to the gentle Kaua, which means ‘sensitive.’ Other nature-inspired names include Kalon, meaning ‘sky,’ and Kahawai, meaning ‘river.’ Our carefully curated list will have a wonderful name that suits your little one.
