The
Importance of First Names! We respond to our name throughout our lives. People associate
us with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to distinguish us from one to another. Other
people gain immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views
of people, just from hearing a name they can
therefore give us a distinct advantage in life, or conversely, a
disadvantage! The choice of an Hawaiian Baby name is, therefore, incredibly important.
And those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on
a responsible task!
The
Origins of Hawaiian baby names
A Traditional Hawaiian name might be
chosen which has been based on a dream, a vision or a sign. The origins of this these include place names,
those related to
mythology and history, origins from colours, plants and
other types of nature, Fictional origins, historical origins, characteristic
and religious origins. We then move on to the
genre which can be classed as Descriptive, Place, Speciality and finally unique (or created
names).

Surnames
Hawaiian
Surnames
In 1857 the surname law was past and all Hawaiian families were required to
use a surname. Up to this time only the first name was used. This was a very
strong Hawaiian tradition and even up to the early part of the 20th century
some Hawaiians would only use their first name.
Hawaiian
Name changes
An Hawaiian name would be changed if it was felt that the person had suffered
bad misfortune. An Hawaiian name might also be changed if a discreditable event
occurred in the family. Under these circumstances an Hawaiian name would be
changed and the new name would be used by successive generations.
