Kona actually has a lot of meanings. Kona is the picturesque town on the Big Island of Hawaii, it can mean the leeward sides (the side normally facing away from the incoming winds) of the islands, and the hot winds that usually blow in from the south bringing the vog (volcanic ash pumped from Kilauea). Konā (the sound of the "a" is held for a little longer) means uncompromising or arrogant such as, "konā lāua" (they won't let me get my way). Kōna (the sound of the "o" is held for a little longer) means his or hers as in ownership such as "`o wai kōna inoa?" (what is his name?).
