Help[Facts] Re: Kini
in reply to a message by Lissy
According to Eileen Root's Hawaiian Names, English Names, Kini is the "Hawaiianized" form of Ginny and so is used as the equivalent of Virginia in Hawaii. There is a Hawaiian word kini which means "a multitude", but that probably wouldn't have been used as a name if it wasn't "transliterating" Ginny in Hawaiian.
