anuhea

this girl is so beautiful
her music her style
so chill and natural
she's part native Hawaiian
and grew up in Maui.

her Hawaiian grandmother had a dream
before she was born, with the name
Anuheake'alaokalokelani,
which means
'the cool fragrance of the heavenly rose'
(which is the Maui flower).

born Rylee Anuheake'alaokalokelani Jenkins
she is known as Anuhea,
which by itself means
'cool breeze'

admittedly, I listened to her music
because I was intrigued by her name.
I love names from the Pacific Islands
(and yes a large part of my blood is Pacifika)
and I especially love names with real meaning
which were given deliberately and
in love.
which is the way I grew up.

enjoy!
