What does pīkake mean in Hawaiian?
Pīkake is the Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac), whose tiny white buds make the most fragrant of lei. The name comes from peacock, because Princess Kaʻiulani loved both the flower and the peacocks in her garden at ʻĀinahau. Pīkake is a girl's name, and it forms Leipīkake and Kapīkake.
Say it pee-KAH-keh. 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.
