The baby name Kahookahi is a Unisex name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced /ka.ho.ʔoˈka.hi/ — respelling: ka-ho-ʻO-KAH-hee (approx. kah-hoh-OH-kah-hee).

Kahookahi is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kahookahi is a Hawaiian given name meaning "the one" or "the united one," from ka (the) + hoʻo (causative "to make") + kahi (one, single). It can also suggest "to bring into unity" or "oneness," yielding readings such as "the unifier" or "unique/only one."

Used for all genders, it appears in 19th-century Hawaiian and mission-era records typically without diacritics, and has seen renewed use amid the Hawaiian language and cultural renaissance. Preferred modern spelling preserves the ʻokina: Kahoʻokahi, or as the two-word phrase Ka Hoʻokahi; common variants include Kahookahi, Kaho'okahi, Ka Hookahi, and Hookahi (without the article). The name aligns with the Hawaiian practice of meaningful, sentence-like names tied to values, births, or family hopes, often signaling unity in a family or community or honoring a firstborn child. Related thematic names include Lokahi ("harmony, unity").
