Ke-Koa is Hawaiian in Origin.

Ke-Koa is a modern, stylized spelling of the Hawaiian given name Kekoa (pronounced keh-KOH-ah). In Hawaiian, ke is the definite article “the,” and koa means “warrior,” “brave one,” and also names the native koa tree (Acacia koa), long a symbol of strength. Together the sense is “the warrior” or “the brave,” evoking courage and steadfastness. Because koa wood fashioned voyaging canoes, spears, and surfboards, the name carries strong seafaring and protective associations in Hawaiian culture.

Documented throughout the Islands in the 19th and 20th centuries and now spreading in wider U.S. usage, Ke-Koa is typically given to boys but remains usable as a unisex virtue name. Variants and forms include Kekoa (standard), Ke Koa (spaced), and Koa as a short form or given name in its own right.
