No, the word Hawaii is of Hawaiian origin. The Hawaiian language is part of the larger family of languages called Austronesian. The closest language to Hawaiian is Tahitian. The word Hawai`i is both the name of the state (chain of islands) and the proper name of the Big Island. Elsewhere in Polynesia, Hawai`i or a cognate (Havaiki or Havaiki Nui) is the name of the underworld or of the ancestral home, but in Hawai`i the name has no meaning.
