There are couple of theories regarding the origin of the name Hawaii. The first is the name came from a combination of the words "Hawa" and "ii" and means a small or new homeland; "Hawa" is defined as a traditional homeland and "ii" means small and raging. The other theory is that the name came from the traditional discoverer of the islands, Hawaii Loa.
