Ka-Liko-Lehua is Hawaiian in Origin.

Ka-Liko-Lehua is a compound Hawaiian given name built from ka (“the”), liko (“leaf-bud; to sprout”), and lehua (the crimson blossom of the ‘ōhi‘a tree). Together it signifies “the lehua bud” or “the budding lehua,” a poetic image for youthful beauty, new love, and a cherished child. In Hawaiian poetry and hula, the lehua evokes passion and resilience - first to flower on new lava - and is associated with deities such as Pele and Laka.

The name appears in 19th–20th‑century Hawaiian records and continues in modern nature-based naming. It is unisex in principle but more commonly given to girls. Common variants and spellings include Ka Liko Lehua, Kalikolehua (solid form), and the shorter Liko Lehua, Lehua, or Liko. Contemporary practice often capitalizes each element; traditional orthography prefers spaces over hyphens. Overall meaning: a child at the threshold of blooming, beloved and strong.
