How many place names are there in the Hawaiian Islands? Even a
rough estimate is impossible. Hawaiians named taro patches, rocks,
trees, canoe landings, resting places in the forests, and the
tiniest spots where miraculous events are believed to have taken
place. And place names are far from static--names are constantly
being given to new houses and buildings, streets and towns, and old
names are replaced by new ones. It is essential, then, to record
the names and the lore associated with them now, while Hawaiians
are here to lend us their knowledge. And, whatever the fate of the
Hawaiian language, the place names will endure. The first edition
of Place Names of Hawaii contained only 1,125 entries. The coverage
is expanded in the present edition to include about 4,000 entries,
including names in English. Also, approximately 800 more names are
included in this volume than appear in the second edition of the
Atlas of Hawaii.
