What is the meaning of the name Alamea ?

The baby name Alamea is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-lah-MEH-ah.

Alamea is Hawaiian in Origin.

Alamea is a Hawaiian given name from a native word meaning “ripe, fully developed,” and by extension “precious” or “cherished.” The sense of completeness and value gives it a jewel-like, nature-rich feel. Used mostly for girls today, Hawaiian vocabulary names are grammatically unisex.

Attested in 19th‑century Hawaiian dictionaries, Alamea began appearing as a personal name in the mid‑20th century and remains uncommon, especially outside Hawaiʻi, though interest has grown with island- and nature-inspired choices. Variant spellings are rare; occasional modern forms include Alameah or Alamea(h). Nicknames Ala and Mea occur, and related Hawaiian options include ʻAlana (“offering”), Alani (“orange tree”), and Leilani.
