What does mahina mean in Hawaiian?
Mahina is the moon and also a month, since the Hawaiian calendar counted nights of the moon. Each of the thirty lunar nights had a name that guided planting and fishing. Mahina is a girl's name on its own and combines as Mahinalani (heavenly moon), Kamahina (the moon), and Leimahina (a lei of moonlight).
Say it mah-HEE-nah. Every vowel is pronounced, and the capitalized syllable takes the stress. The pronunciation guide covers the rules.
