Comments for AROHA:

Notice the r/l relationship:
Maori: Aroha Maori: Wiremu
Hawaiian: Aloha English: William
Aroha and Aloha both mean 'love'.

By the way you have stated that it sounds like you are implying that Maori are from Hawaii. Even though Aroha and Aloha both might mean love and sound similar that doesn't mean the origin of these races are from the same place. It has been proved that Maori migrated from South East Asia, not Hawaii.

I think Aroha is a really lovely name and one of the better sounding Maori names.

This can also mean sympathy.

I sounds really close to Aloha.

Aroha is pronounced with a roll of the R. I've heard it pronounced as arrow-ha by many Pakeha people.

The name Aroha was used as replacement for Alois during a reworking of the novel novel written by Marie Louise de la Renče "A Dog of Flanders".
