Alekona is in Origin.

Alekona is a Hawaiian phonetic rendering of the Greek name Alexandros, built from alexein "to defend" and aner "man," yielding the meaning "defender of humankind." The form entered local usage in the 19th century as Hawaiian speakers adapted Christian and European names to native sound patterns, and it continues to appear occasionally as a given name in the Islands.

Variant spellings within Hawaiian include Alekana and, less often, Alikona; Alika functions as a related short form. All preserve the Alexander meaning. In the wider Polynesian sphere, compare Samoan Alesana and Tongan Aleki (for Alex), while Alekona remains characteristically Hawaiian. Modern bearers sometimes treat it as unisex. Although the sequence kona recalls the Hawaiian word for the leeward side and the Kona district, in this name it is purely phonetic, not semantic; the sense derives from Alexander rather than Hawaiian geography.
