Kaiolohia as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kaiolohia

What is the meaning of the name Kaiolohia ?

The baby name Kaiolohia is a Unisex name and is pronounced kye-oh-loh-HEE-ah (approx. /kaɪ.oʊ.loˈhi.ə/).

Kaiolohia is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kaiolohia is a Hawaiian given name formed from kai (sea) and ʻolohia (calm, at ease), evoking the image of a peaceful ocean and, by extension, a composed, serene temperament. Nature-based compounds like this are long-standing in Hawaiian onomastics, where names often express desired qualities or an auspicious scene.

Usage spans genders in Hawaiian contexts. While uncommon in historical records compared with royal and missionary-era favorites, it fits the traditional pattern and has gained quiet currency amid the late-20th-century Hawaiian language and cultural revival. Outside Hawaiʻi it remains rare but benefits from the wider popularity of Kai. Variant presentations differ mainly in the treatment of diacritics: the name may appear with an ʻokina and kahakō according to orthographic preference, or without diacritics in English texts; Kaiʻolohia is one encountered form. Common short form: Kai. Related names include Maluhia (peace) and Kailani (sea and sky).
