Kealohah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kealohah

What is the meaning of the name Kealohah ?

The baby name Kealohah is a Unisex name and is pronounced keh-AH-loh-hah.

Kealohah is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kealohah is a modern, stylistic Hawaiian-derived given name built on the elements ke (“the,” a definite article) and aloha (“love, affection, compassion”), so its sense is “the love,” often interpreted as “beloved” or “one embodying aloha.” In standard Hawaiian orthography and phonotactics the established form is Kealoha (ending in a vowel); the final h in Kealohah reflects an Anglicized spelling choice rather than a change in meaning or pronunciation. The name is unisex.

Kealoha appears in 19th-century Hawaiian records as both a given name and a surname and remains familiar across the islands and the diaspora; it has seen wider mainland U.S. use from the late 20th century, encouraged by the cultural currency of the aloha spirit and figures such as Kealoha, Hawaiʻi’s first poet laureate. Common variants and related forms include Kealoha (standard), Ke Aloha (spaced), Kealohaa, Alohalani, Kealohanui, and Leialoha; diacritics are often omitted in English contexts.
