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.
