What is the meaning of the name Ka-Ahu-Manu ?

The baby name Ka-Ahu-Manu is a Unisex name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced {'plain': 'kah-ah-hoo-MAH-noo', 'IPA': '/ka.a.huˈma.nu/'}.

Ka-Ahu-Manu is Hawaiian in Origin.

Ka-Ahu-Manu is a Hawaiian compound name formed from ka “the,” ʻahu “cloak, garment, shrine,” and manu “bird,” yielding the evocative sense “the bird-cloak” or “garment of birds” - an image pointing to the feather cloaks (ʻahuʻula) that signified chiefly rank in ancient Hawaiʻi.

Best known through Queen Kaʻahumanu (c. 1768–1832), the powerful kuhina nui of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the name appears in place names and institutions across the islands. As a given name today it is uncommon but honored in Native Hawaiian families and most often used for girls, though Hawaiian names are generally unisex. Standard modern spelling uses the ʻokina: Kaʻahumanu; common variants include Kaahumanu (without diacritics), Ka-Ahu-Manu, and Ka Ahu Manu. Possible short forms are Ahu and Manu. Using the ʻokina respects proper pronunciation (ka-ʔa-hu-ma-nu).
