The Hawaiian Islands are a magical place full of tradition and rich culture; it’s no wonder Lisa Bonet and her boyfriend Jason Momoa selected a Hawaiian name for their son. Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa sounds like an unusually long name for a child on the mainland, but such an extensive name is actually a great source of pride within a Hawaiian household.
The viral Hawaiian innovations below showcase the breadth of attention these islands have received by the worldwide media besides that focused around the name of Lisa Bonet’s son.
