What does mana mean in Hawaiian?
Mana is supernatural or divine power, and by extension authority, strength, and influence. Chiefs, places, objects, and names could all hold mana, which is why a name was chosen with care. Kamana is the power, Manaolana is hope (literally floating power), and Kaimana, though it looks like sea and power, is the Hawaiian form of the English word diamond.
