Kaipo as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kaipo

What is the meaning of the name Kaipo ?

The baby name Kaipo is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kah-EE-poh (Hawaiian: /kaˈi.po/).

Kaipo is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kaipo is a Hawaiian given name built from ka, the definite article “the,” and ipo, “sweetheart; beloved,” giving the sense “the sweetheart” or “darling.” In Hawaiian, ipo is a longstanding term of affection, so the name carries connotations of treasured love and closeness. It is used for all genders in Hawai‘i, though it tends to skew masculine in contemporary usage.

Documented as a personal name throughout the Islands since the late 19th century, Kaipo remained in steady community use and saw wider visibility during the Hawaiian Renaissance of the 1970s and in modern diaspora communities. The most common form is Kaipo; the two-word phrase Ka Ipo may appear in Hawaiian-language contexts, and Ipo is used as a short form. Extended compound names sometimes incorporate ipo. Meaning-based cognates in other languages are “Beloved,” “Darling,” or “Amado,” rather than true variants.
