Pavlos is correct; 'mapuana' is a specialized word for a fragrance blown by the wind. It's an elaboration of the noun "mapu."

Your name has a wonderful meaning
According to the web site of the Hawaii State Library (http://www.hawaii.gov/hidocs/hawnames.html), Mapuana means "wind-blown fragrance" :)
