Kamekona is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kamekona is a Hawaiian given name, likely built from ka mea “the one, person” plus Kona, the leeward district on Hawai‘i Island and a general term for the leeward side; taken together, it reads “the Kona one” or “person from Kona.” Because kona can also mean “his/her,” some interpret the phrase as “the one that is his/hers,” a possessive or cherished sense.

Used among Native Hawaiians and sometimes as a family name, Kamekona appears in 19th‑century Hawaiian‑language sources and continues today, with wider recognition from the Hawaii Five‑0 character Kamekona Tupuola. The name leans masculine but may be unisex. Variants and related forms include short forms Kona and Kame, and pattern‑mates like Kamealoha (“beloved one”) and Kamehameha (“the lonely one”). Spelling is stable; diacritics are rarely added in English.
