ArchivesRe: Kailah

Thanks for the link! I didn't know of that site, so I checked it out a little bit.
Unlike many other sites, this one seems to contain a lot of solid information. In some cases, however, the entries are inaccurate, incomplete, or simply wrong (check VERONICA).
A good example for inaccuracy is the name IDA:
»The girl's name Ida \i-da\ is pronounced EYE-dah. It is of Old German and Greek origin, and its meaning is "hardworking"«
Of course it is wrong to say that it is of Old German AND Greek origin. This may occur in some cases, but not here. The name is either of Old High German OR of Greek origin - with completely different meanings.
I think the same applies to Kailah: It is either of Hebrew (I doubt this) OR of Hawaiian origin (I have no idea). This would be a little too much coincidence, if a name should mean "laurel" as well as "style" both in Hebrew and Hawaiian, don't you think?
