| You must have the word mispelled if it truly is a Hawaiian word word because the Hawaiian alphabet does not contain the letter "y." If you mean "kai," it most commonly means "sea." It would be a good investment to buy the Hawaiian Dictionary by Mary K. Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert to learn more about Hawaiian word definitions and the richness of our language. |

I have been looking for the names Kye and Katti. I want to know everything I can about them. Any origin, I know Kye in Hawaiian is Kai, but what is Kye other then Hawaiian? And Katti, spelled no other way, in any origin. |

From the looks of it, Katti could be Keiki which means child. |
