The Meaning of ALOHA

The word Aloha is still the most beautiful word in the Hawaiian Language. Its true meaning was given to me in the early 1920’s by my grandfather and father. This is how they told it to me.

A stood for the word Aloha, meaning Welcome, what I have you may have, share with me.

L stood for the Hawaiian word Lohu Mai Kai, which meant, what I’ve said comes from my heart, good intention.

O stood for the Hawaiian word Olu Olu, meaning Happy, this is part of our heritage, a happy Hawaiian people doing for others.

H stood for the Hawaiian word Ha’a Ha’a, meaning humility and weakness, We welcome you and we do things for you because we are happy doing it and are humble to serve.

A stood for the Hawaiian word a’a Ka moku, which means our eyes are wide open but our lips are sealed for we know what we are doing. This is the meaning of ALOHA as I learned it years ago. I must caution you to say it only when you feel it in your heart. Josephine Kelikipu
