Here are some insights derived from the top 100 names in Hawaii for births in 2021:

Hawaiian Influence: Unlike the other states, names of Hawaiian origin are notably popular in Hawaii. For boys, we see Kai, Koa, Kaimana, Kainoa, Keanu, and Makoa, and for girls, Kaia, Mahina, Kailani, Lilinoe, Kailea, and Malia. This demonstrates the strength and appreciation of native culture and tradition in Hawaii.
Nature-Inspired Names: Many names reflect a strong connection to nature, perhaps reflecting Hawaii’s geography and environment. Names like River, Reef, and Orion for boys, and Luna, Isla (island in Spanish), and Skye for girls fall into this category.
Biblical and Traditional Names: Like the rest of the U.S., traditional English and Biblical names such as Noah, Liam, Olivia, and Amelia are also popular in Hawaii. Other biblical names such as Ezekiel, Elijah, Ezra, and Isaac are also quite popular for boys.
Unique and Uncommon Names: There are a number of unique names in this list, including Maverick, Legend, Atlas, and Kaizen for boys, and Ayla, Elliana, and Lilinoe for girls. This suggests that parents in Hawaii might be more adventurous in their naming choices compared to other states.
Names of Various Origins: The list also reflects a mix of names from various cultures and languages, such as the Italian Luca, the Hebrew Levi, and the Greek name Alexander for boys, and the Italian Bella, the Spanish name Isabella, and the Greek name Sophia for girls, reflecting Hawaii’s multicultural society.
Unisex Names: Names like Avery are becoming popular for both boys and girls. This could indicate a rising trend towards gender-neutral names.

These trends reflect Hawaii’s unique blend of traditional Hawaiian culture, Western influences, and a love of nature, amongst other factors.
