Meaning and history
Keahi is a Hawaiian given name used for more than one gender, formed from ke, “the,” and ahi, “fire,” and therefore means “the fire.” Hawaiian names often carry family, spiritual, or situational meanings beyond a dictionary gloss, so personal context can add significance. The name should retain Hawaiian pronunciation and should not be treated as a creative English fire name. A notable bearer is Native Hawaiian journalist and television presenter Keahi Tucker.
