HANOHANO CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILY NAMES
Hidden Alii, No. 17

     The 17 living children of Stella Kaliookalani Piianaia and her husband Peter J.S. Hanohano are a reminder that the Hawaiian race is not going to die.

     Of particular interest are in the amily names given each of the Hanohano family accourding to the ancient system. Each name is "kapu" in the family and may be given only those in the family of the alii who previously bore it.

     A child can not be named "for" and alii, Western style. The name must be a right or conferred by the alii.

     The 17 Hanohano children are:
     1- Albert Gordon Kalawai[a]nui Kaluhikai Kaho'alii. His name is that of the Hidden Alii in full.
     2- Maria Lupua Kaimookalani. A name referring to a prophet who obtained his powers from the sacred lizard.
     3- Edward Bruce Kekunuialaimoku Kawohi Kaho'alii. The Kekunuialaimoku is the name of an ancestress who was the granddaughter of Keawe II, King of Hawaii Island, by his eldest son Kalaninuiamamao.
     4- Maude Frances Wahineikaili. She was named for a great aunt, daughter for the first Kalawainui.
     5- Esther Nahauapuokalani (The Kapu Hau Tree of Heaven). The name comes from the Piianaia side of the family.
     6- Irene Kaoanaeha was named for Queen Emma's grandmother, wife of John Young.
     7- Peter Kauhola (What Exists There?) Kauhola was the brother of the first Kalawainui.
     8- Edwin Kahakupoolani (The Foremost Chief of Heaven), a Kalawainui ancestor.
     9- Carl Alexander Heulumanawaokalani received the Hawaiian name of his uncle St. Chad Piianaia in Los Angeles.
    10- Edgar Kaonaona (The Sweet Child) received a pet name of an ancestor.
    11- Henry Kalikookalani (Bud of Heaven) was named for his mother and she in turn had been named for the ancestor who was the great granddaughter of Keawe II.
    12- Louis Kalawainui Kaluhikai was the second child named for the Hidden Alii.
    13- William Moewaa (The Canoe Dream) received his name for his father's family.
    14- Harry Benjamin Kaho'alii got the family name.
    15- Phillip Kealiimaikai (The Good Chief) was named for the brother of Kamehameha I.
    16- Robert Kunuiakea (The National God Ku) was given the sacred name of Kamehameha I.
    17- Stella Kahokualakai (The Leading Star)  does not have a family name. Hers is a dream name.
