Kaemana is in Origin.

Kaemana is a modern Hawaiian given name with roots in the archipelago’s language. Most speakers treat it as a creative variant of Kaimana, a term that in contemporary Hawaiian denotes “diamond” (a 19th‑century loanword from English), though many families also prefer the appealing folk parse kai + mana, “sea power, oceanic strength.” Read strictly as Hawaiian morphemes, it can also be understood as ka + mana, “the power, spiritual potency,” with mana referring to sacred force throughout Polynesia. Spellings with the glottal stop - Kaʻimana (and occasionally Kaʻemana) - may appear in careful orthography.

As a given name, Kaemana is unisex and has seen periodic use in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific diaspora since the late 20th century, paralleling the Hawaiian language renaissance and ocean-centered culture. Common variants include Kaimana and Kaʻimana; short forms and pet names include Kai and Mana. The name carries connotations of strength, brilliance, and sacred vitality.
