Keola is Hawaiian in Origin.
Keola is a Hawaiian given name from ke (the definite article “the”) + ola (“life; health; well-being”), meaning “the life” or “life-giving.” Traditionally masculine but now often unisex, it conveys a wish for vitality and resilience and is used as both a first and middle name in Native Hawaiian families.
Attested in 19th-century Hawaiian-language newspapers and civil records, Keola has remained steadily in use and gained wider notice through modern bearers such as musician Keola Beamer. Spelling is usually Keola; nicknames include Keo and Ola. Related forms include Keolani and the compound Keolaokalani (“life of the heavens”), with Keola also appearing within longer theophoric and nature-based Hawaiian names.
