Kuloloia Meaning
Ancient place name - meaning uncertain
Kuloloia (also written Kuloloio) was once a beautiful sandy beach on the shore of Kou, and a favored residence of the high chiefess Nāmahana (wife of Ke‘eaumoku, and mother of Ka‘ahumanu and other significant figures in the Hawaiian Kingdom). There were a number of chiefly houses and heiau spread across the shoreline of Kuloloia, between Pākākā and Honuakaha. Nāmahana died at her home on the shore of Kuloloia, and a younger cousin of Namahana’s children, who was present at her death, was named Kuloloia for the place in which Namahana died.
