The word does comes from Arabic. It means like "land of pearls".

Honolulu can be decomposed as "hono" + "lulu"

In Arabic the word for "here" is "huna". The word for pearls in Arabic is "lulu". As we know, one of the most famous places in Hawaii is Pearl Harbor. Historically, Hawaii was known as the Muslim Sandwich Islands before World War II. Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick has done enormous research on this topic.

According to Wikipedia, " In the Hawaiian language, Honolulu means "sheltered bay" or "place of shelter"."

Hawaiian language has an origin different from that of Arabic.
