Kamalalawalu
Kamalalawalu (Kama-lala-walu = "Son of eight branches") was an Alii nui of Maui in ancient Hawaii, known to us today from the old chants.
He was a son and successor of Chief Kiha-a-Piilani and Queen Kumaka and grandson of Piʻilani and nephew of Queen Piʻikea.
Kamalalawalu married woman called Piʻilaniwahine I and their children were:
- Kalakauaʻehu (son)
- Paikalakaua (son)
- Piʻilani-Kapokulani (daughter)
- Kekaikuihaiaokekuʻimanono (daughter)
- Umikalakaua (son)
- Kaunoho I (son)
- Kauhiakama (son and successor)
It was Kamalalawalu who gives the name Maui-of-Kama to the island.
Petroglyphs thought to depict the defeat of Kamalalawalu by Lonoikamakahiki can be viewed at low tide near the temples on Kahaluu Bay.
