Kaimana

Kaimana has a Hawaiian interpretation that brings together kai, meaning sea, and mana, meaning power. That reading gives it the familiar sense of sea power or the power of the ocean. It is an appealing connection for a family whose relationship with Hawaii or the sea is part of the name's significance.

There is also a separate dictionary history: Hawaiian kaimana is a word for diamond borrowed from English. These are two ways the same written form can be understood, rather than parts of one combined translation. Kaimana Beach in Waikiki carries the diamond-word association in Hawaiian place-name references. Knowing both routes gives the name more depth and allows a family to explain the meaning they intend without treating one interpretation as the only possible story.
