From http://understandingoccults.com/category/naming-rituals-rites/:
"In Hawaii, the entire family participates in the name-giving. A child's name may be based on special events, people, or places, or created by the parents based on an incident at birth.
Traditional Hawaiian names are long and have very picturesque meanings. Some of the loveliest Hawaiian names are those that come to a relative "from heaven," in the form of a dream, omen, sign, or inner voice."
