I've been doing a bit of research on the name Kai and have found several different meanings for it. However, I could use some help verifying the accuracy of these meanings. Also, would all of the sources be pronounced as KIE or would some of them be pronounced as KAY.
(Chinese) “Victorious, Open, Start, Ideal”
(Finnish) “Maybe, Perhaps, Probably”
(German) “Quay” from Kaai (Dutch)
(Greek) "And"
(Hawaiian) “Sea”, “The Sea”, “Sea Water”, “Ocean”, “Great Water”
(Hong Kong) “Stupid, Silly”
(Japanese) “Beautiful Shell”
(Japanese) “Cut”
(Japanese) “Meeting, Join, Association”
(Maori) “Food”
(Native-American-Navajo) “Willow Tree”
(Norwegian) “Quay”
(Old Norse) “Hen” from kaða
(Papago) “Seed”
(Papiamen) “Drop, Fall”
(Persian epithet) “King, Ruler”
(Scandinavian) form of Gaius, of unknown meaning
(Scandinavian/Greek) “Earth”
(Scottish) “Fire”
(Scottish/Welsh) “Keeper of the Keys”
(South African) “Beautiful”
(Thai) “Fever, Egg”
On the same note, I've been trying to determine the meaning of Kaia and have come up with:
KAIA
(Old Norse) “Hen” from Kaða (KIE-a or KAY-a?)
(Hawaiian) “The Sea” from Kai (KIE-a)
(Greek) “Earth” from Gaia (KIE-a or KAY-a?)
I would assume that the many sites referring to Kaia as meaning Earth would come from the Hawaiian form of Gaia. It seems that G's tend to be translated as K's in Hawaiian.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!CIARDA
