Haaheo is Hawaiian in Origin.

Haaheo is a Hawaiian given name derived from the common noun haʻaheo, “proud, majestic, splendid; to take pride.” In Hawaiian poetry and song - including the 19th‑century anthem Aloha ʻOe - the word evokes dignified beauty and uplift, so the name carries connotations of honorable pride and stateliness. It has appeared in Hawaiian records since the kingdom era and, like many ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi names, functions across genders.

Preferred orthography is Haʻaheo, marking the glottal stop (ʻokina) between the two a’s; the ASCII form Haaheo and the typewriter variant Ha‘aheo also occur. No kahakō (macron) is used in standard spelling. Related senses give interpretive meanings such as “pride,” “glory,” and “magnificence.” Usage declined during the early 20th century but was renewed during the Hawaiian Renaissance and today is found as a first or middle name in Hawaiʻi and the diaspora.
