BETTER ANSWER

The word for warrior is "koa", and although there is a tree named koa whose use was primarily for canoe building, that is not why the warriors were named that. Koa is endemic to Hawaii and in other Polynesian languages like Tahitian or Samoan, their "toa" is our "koa" for warrior and they do not have the koa growing there.

ANSWER

koa. came from the koa tree that they made weapons from because of the extrem density of the wood.
