Manōkalanipo
Poetically Kauai is reportedly called, "Manōkalanipo", or "Kauaʻi a Manō" after the ancient chief who was largely responsible for elevating Kauaʻi’s ancient society to sophisticated heights of advancement and productivity.
Manōkalanipo has the characteristic honor of having had his name as a nickname to the island over which he ruled, and in epical and diplomatic language it was ever after known as "Kauai-a-Manōkalanipo."
