What does kēhau mean in Hawaiian?
Kēhau is dew, the moisture of early morning, and in poetry the gentle presence of a loved one. Kēhau is a girl's name on its own, and it forms Kēhaulani (heavenly dew), Leikēhau (a lei of dew), and Kakēhau (the dew).
Say it KEH-how. Every vowel is pronounced, and the capitalized syllable takes the stress. A vowel with a line over it (kahakō) is held a little longer. The pronunciation guide covers the rules.
On this site kēhau is part of 2 names: 1 begin with it, 0 end with it, and 1 carry it elsewhere. Most are girl names, and all of them sit in the group of Hawaiian names meaning rain.
