What does maikaʻi mean in Hawaiian?
Maikaʻi is good in the fullest sense — well-made, healthy, morally sound, attractive. It is the ordinary answer to 'how are you'.
Because it covers goodness of every kind at once, it is a strong thing to put in a name: it claims not one quality but the whole set.
Say it my-KAH-ee. Every vowel is pronounced, and the capitalized syllable takes the stress. The ʻokina (ʻ) is a short catch in the voice, like the break in “uh-oh”. The pronunciation guide covers the rules.
On this site maikaʻi is part of 2 names: 0 begin with it, 1 end with it, and 1 carry it elsewhere. They split evenly between girls and boys, and all of them sit in the group of Hawaiian names meaning peace.
