How Hawaiian names are chosen

Hawaiian tradition treats a name as something that arrives rather than something selected, and distinguishes the routes by which it comes. An inoa pō is a night name, delivered in a dream to a family member; pō is not merely night but the source, the time before beginning, the ancestral world. Such a name belongs to that one person, and another family member taking it without permission is understood to invite harm. An inoa hoʻomanaʻo commemorates an event, holding a piece of family history in the name itself. Names also come by sign, inoa hōʻailona, and by voice, inoa ʻūlāleo.
