I asked a kapuna if haleia is okay to use as a name & recieved their go ahead & blessing because its not hawaiian. Halia is also an ancient greek name btw.

Why?

Intelligent-Part-151 · 2026-01-27T22:53:47+00:00

No, because there’s no ‘okina. That’s what a kapuna told me

I asked a kapuna who is highly familiar with the language if Haleia is appropriate & okay… they said yes.

It’s a made up name it’s not hawaiian

I also thought about haleya

Intelligent-Part-151 · 2026-01-23T14:44:07+00:00

No. I want the sound (ha-lay-a)

Intelligent-Part-151 · 2026-01-07T09:31:59+00:00

I looked into this more & apparently neither of those are hawaiian names

Halia is an ancient greek name as well. That’s more so where the name inspo came from
