This was an ancient office from the very dawn of Hawaiian civilization. During this time before the ''Kuhina Nui'' Kalanimoku, a trusted chief of Kamehameha, was the Kālaimoku until Kamehameha established the office of the ''Kuhina Nui''.

Whether this was really the will of Kamehameha I is a matter of debate. In either case, Kamehameha II did not object and the office of ''Kuhina Nui'' was created f ...

Christian Name
A Christian name, sometimes referred to as a baptismal name, is a religious personal name given on the occasion of a Christian baptism, though now most often assigned by parents at birth. In English-speaking cultures, a person's Christian name is commonly their first name and is typically the name by which the person is primarily known. Traditionally, a Christian name was given on the occasion of Christian baptism, with the ubiquity of infant baptism in modern and medieval Christendom. In Elizabethan England, as suggested by William Camden, the term ''Christian name'' was not necessarily related to baptism, used merely in the sense of "given name": Christian names were imposed for the distinction of persons, surnames for the difference of families. In more modern times, the terms have been used interchangeably with ''given name'', ''first name'' and ''forename'' in traditionally Christian countries, and are still common in day-to-day use. Strictly speaking, the Christian name ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
