One of three Hawaiian spellings of Caroline
The English name behind Kealalaina is Caroline, which grew out of Carolina, the Italian feminine of Carlo, Charles. English took it up in the 1700s, and it was one of many English names Hawaiians rebuilt with their own sounds in the following century.
Kealalaina is the least expected of the three recorded spellings, because it opens with ke rather than the ka of Kalalaina and Kalolaina. In ordinary Hawaiian ke and ka are both the word for the, and a name borrowed by ear could settle on either. It remains the rarest of the three.
