| maybe You mean...maunalani, ir malolani or manulani? these were royal names reserved for cheifs only commoners were never named lani. manu is bird, malo, the wrap used by males but has a very heavy significance wheern attatched to the cheifs, and the possibility of getting a woman pregnant....mauna is a mountain, a high peak or top of it such as mauna kea. malu i am not sure. get out that hawaiian dictionary...*S* |
