Ke-Ola is Hawaiian in Origin.
Ke-Ola is a Hawaiian given name built from ke, the definite article “the,” and ola, a core word meaning “life,” “health,” “well-being,” and by extension “recovery” or “salvation.” The whole therefore reads “the life,” a concise blessing of vitality and healing. Traditional Hawaiian spelling favors Keola as one word or the phrase ke ola; the hyphenated form is a modern stylistic variant.
Documented in 19th-century Hawaiian Kingdom records and sustained through the Hawaiian cultural revival, Keola/Ke-Ola has been used by Native Hawaiian families and the diaspora, with notable visibility from musician Keola Beamer. The name is unisex but leans masculine. Variants and short forms include Keola (most common), Ke Ola (two words), Ke-Ola (hyphenated), and Ola; pet forms sometimes shorten to K or Ola.
We have no record of Ke-Ola in any national birth registry or name dataset. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
