4.0 out of 5 stars Great for those interested in the meaning of Hawai'ian names, 5 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book is divided into two main sections. The first lists about 50 pages of Hawai'ian names and their various meanings, and the second lists about 90 pages of English names, their meanings and suggests Hawai'ian alternatives.

As you can see, the quantity of information is more than sufficient for those who are looking for unusual yet meaningful names for their children.

There is even a section on possible names for pets, boats and houses. Certainly a bit more imaginative than 'Dunroamin'!

The book also contains background information as regards the importance of naming in the Hawai'ian culture, pronunciation and the dangers of creating a Hawai'ian name (as it might not mean what you want it to mean!).

The only slight problem is that the book was published in 1987 so may not feature some more popular modern names, although so many are listed that there does seem to be something for everyone.

Overall, good value for money and very informative. I have also noticed that visitors can't help but have a peek in it to try and find their Hawai'ian equivalent name.
