History & Origin

Keauna is a respelling of Kiana or Keona, modern names sometimes linked to a Hawaiian form of Diana. The elaborate spelling marks it as a personalized variant.

It appears from about 1980 and peaks faintly near 1996 before fading by the twenty-tens. It stayed rare, one ornate spelling among many for the popular Kiana.

Did you know? The showy 'eau' inside Keauna is pure decoration - it does not change the sound from Kiana, but it gives the name a distinctive, French-tinged look on the page.
