What is the meaning of the name Kialoha ?

The baby name Kialoha is a Unisex name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced kee-ah-LOH-hah (IPA: /ki.aˈlo.ha/).

Kialoha is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kialoha is a modern Hawaiian given name, read as a phonetic variant of Kealoha, a compound of ke (“the”) and aloha (“love, affection, compassion”), yielding the sense “the beloved” or simply “love.” Used for all genders, it reflects the central Hawaiian value of aloha and appears in both given-name and middle-name positions. While Kealoha has long functioned as a surname in Hawai‘i (arising in the 19th century when Indigenous given names were adopted as family names in official records), Kialoha surfaces more prominently in 20th‑century usage and in the diaspora, especially on the U.S. mainland.

Common variants and related forms include Kealoha, Ke Aloha (spaced), and Aloha; less often, Kialoha is hyphenated in combination names (for example, Lea-Kialoha). Nicknames such as Kia or Loha occur in casual use. Pronunciation follows Hawaiian vowels: kee-ah-LO-ha, with four clear syllables.
