What does alaula mean in Hawaiian?
Alaula is the light of early morning — the flame-coloured glow along the horizon before the sun itself appears, and the same light again at sunset.
The parts are ala (path) and ula (red, flaming): the red road that the sun travels. It is among the most admired images in Hawaiian poetry and a common element in names.
Say it ah-lah-OO-lah. Every vowel is pronounced, and the capitalized syllable takes the stress. The pronunciation guide covers the rules.
On this site alaula is part of 2 names: 0 begin with it, 1 end with it, and 1 carry it elsewhere. Most are girl names, and all of them sit in the group of Hawaiian names meaning light.
