Most Hawaiian names are created out of normal words in the Hawaiian language. So until you find an expert on the Hawaiian language who can interpret the name for you, your best bet is to look at what Kaaiahue could possibly mean from a Hawaiian language dictionary. The problem here though is that you really have to know how the syllables were originally divided to be sure in looking up the original words the name was created from. There seem to be quite a few different possibilities for Kaaihue. http://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.5/cgi-bin/hdict?a=q&r=1&hs=1&e=q-0hdict--00-0-0--010---4----den--0-000lpm--1en-Zz-1---Zz-1-home---00031-0000escapewin-00&q=kaai&j=pm&hdid=0&hdds=0
