What does your name mean ?

I thought this might be a little interesting, we could all post what the meanings of our names are. Our names often define who we are, I'm curious to see if this is the case. There is such a diversity of cultures, and personalities here. Let's see if your personality matches up with your name.

what's your name?

I have to admit I love my name. Lol.

from the internet,
Salihah : Good; useful; correct; agreeable; pious

I'll have to break my full first name down to explain this.

Kui-kahekili-ahumanu-hiapo a very old style Hawaiian name, people just dont do this anymore!

Kui meaning to punch, pounce, thump, smote, hit, pierce and the sorts.
Kahekili means thunder
Ahumanu is a cape made of bird feathers used by the hawaiian nobility
Hiapo is an indicator showing to all that you are the first born son

Thus when put together... Kuikahekiliahumanuhiapo
It will mean figurtively Thunder Roars Within the Clouds(the cape)
or Thunder Roars within the Womb(the cape)
you dont put into the translation "eldest son" as it is just an indicating word.
In Old Hawaii a name tells all a lot about oneself. The people of old would know such a name is only unique to this or that Island and also would indicate one's noble or common lineage.
My name was given in the ancient way where not my parents but my grandparents endowed me with such honor. All other grandchildren are given christian names only thus the tradition to hand down a Hawaiian name is left solely to me. Not neccesarily to my children, but maybe to my grandchildren when such time occurs. That will be a while from now.
Because of the modernity of the world and of merciful convenience, my name legally on paper is just plain KUI + surname.
It's not that easy though! Besides the long name I have shown you, ancient hawaiian tradition gives me actually 2 more names! One is a "secret" name which is only known by my grandparents, which they address me by only in the presence of myself and them (my parents dont know of my secret name nor have one themselves). The second is maybe a nickname my parents and other relatives call me by which is "Keali'i"
pronounced KAY-ahhhh-leee-eeee meaning "mylord" or "my chief". How archaic and condescending for my relatives and even my parents to address me so! I prefer just Kui.
Today most people living in Hawaii whether they have Hawaiian ancestry or not have given their children hawaiian names in a more modern novelty kind of way. Somehow I got the unlucky burden of the old ways which now I have the onus to carry on.

Damn. And I thought my name had the coolest meaning. Hmph.
