Ka-Hula is Hawaiian in Origin.

Ka-Hula is a modern Hawaiian-derived given name built from ka, the singular definite article “the,” and hula, the traditional Hawaiian dance and storytelling art. Together it literally means “the hula,” evoking grace, rhythm, cultural memory, and ceremony. While ka frequently appears in classic Hawaiian personal names (e.g., Kalākaua, Kaʻiulani), using the standalone noun hula as a name is uncommon in older records; the hyphenated form reflects contemporary, often diaspora, naming styles. The name is typically unisex and may be chosen by families connected to hula practice or wishing to honor Hawaiʻi’s heritage.

Usage is rare but recognizable from the late 20th century onward. Variants include Kahula (unhyphenated), Ka Hula (with a space), and Hula as a clipped form; spelling with diacritics is generally unnecessary here, since hula carries no macron. Related Hawaiian “Ka-” names in feel include Kalani and Kamaka.
