Lono

Rainy days are so much better with baby around, and Lono invites you both to splash in the puddles. Lono is a masculine name of Hawaiian origin linked to Polynesian and Pacific Islander faith and culture. In Hawaiian mythology, one of the four great gods of the islands is called Lono, and he mainly rules over stormy weather and fertility. He is described as incredibly tall, with his head hidden amidst dark clouds in the sky, and has a fatherly air. Lono can also refer to a “report,” “news,” or “fame” in Hawaiian, giving it a rather dynamic nature. This energetic and informative vibe only enhances when looking at the god Lono’s similarities to the Tahitian deity, Ro‘o—a messenger god. Lono rolls smoothly like thunder in the clouds and offers a cool and meaningful way to connect baby to their Hawaiian ancestry.
