Aukake is Hawaiian in Origin.

Aukake is the Hawaiian adaptation of August, the name of the eighth month, formed in 19th-century Hawaiian as ʻAukake under the standardized orthography. The term came through English from Latin Augustus, ultimately from the adjective augustus meaning venerable, majestic. In Hawaiian phonology the initial ʻokina (ʻ) marks a glottal onset, so the most accurate spelling is ʻAukake; the diacritic is sometimes omitted in English settings.

As a given name, Aukake is rare but recognizable in Hawaiʻi and the Hawaiian diaspora, often chosen for children born in August or to evoke the dignified sense carried by the Latin root. It is typically unisex. Variants and related forms include ʻAukake/Aukake (with or without ʻokina), and cognates such as August, Augusta, Augustine, Auguste, Augusto, Agustín, and Agostino. The core meaning centers on August; venerable, majestic, blending a modern calendar reference with a classical sense of honor.
