What is the meaning of the name Kimokeo ?

The baby name Kimokeo is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced kee-moh-KEH-oh (IPA: /ki.mo.ˈke.o/).

Kimokeo is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kimokeo is a Hawaiian given name, used mostly for boys. It appears in modern usage alongside the Hawaiian language revival and is borne by cultural figures in the islands, which has helped keep it visible. As written without diacritics, it does not correspond to a single, attested dictionary word, and its precise reading and stress can change with okina or kahako marks.

Many families treat Kimokeo as a portmanteau that honors relatives, combining Kimo (the Hawaiian form of James) with Keo or Keoki (Hawaiian forms of Joe/George). In that sense, the meaning is commemorative rather than lexical: “Kimo + Keo,” a name that carries two lineages. Related variants and short forms include Kimo, Keo, and Keoki; thematically related modern Hawaiian choices include Kaleo (“the voice”) and Keola (“the life”). Usage remains uncommon beyond Hawaii and Native Hawaiian communities.
