Mohala is Hawaiian in Origin.
Mohala is a Hawaiian given name meaning "to blossom, to open, to unfold," a poetic image applied to flowers, especially the lehua, and to the idea of a person coming into maturity. It derives from the Hawaiian verb mohala, widely used in proverbs and songs to express revelation and growth, and thus carries associations of beauty, resilience, and new beginnings.
As a given name, Mohala appears in Hawaiian-language records from the 19th century and has seen renewed use with the late 20th-century Hawaiian cultural renaissance. The name is traditionally unisex in the Hawaiian context, though it skews feminine in contemporary usage. Variant spellings include Mohala (without diacritics) and Mōhala (with a macron), both seen in English. It should not be confused with Mahala, an unrelated English/Biblical name. Related Hawaiian nature names include Pua and Lehua.
