Haloa origin and meaning

Hawaiian (mythological)

From Hawaiian Haloa, the ancestral figure associated with the first kalo (taro)

In Hawaiian tradition Haloa is the stillborn first child of the sky father Wakea, from whose body the first kalo plant grew, and the name of his younger brother, ancestor of Hawaiians. The name is standardly written with an okina and macron that this spelling omits, so the figure is described here rather than listed as a bearer of this exact string, and the name's older etymology is not documented beyond the tradition.

Origin uncertain
