What is the spelling of Alexandra in Hawaiian language?

There's no single, definitive way to spell "Alexandra" in Hawaiian. Here's why:

* Hawaiian doesn't have a direct equivalent for "x" or "z" sounds. These sounds are typically represented by "k" or "s".

* Hawaiian spelling is phonetically based. It's about how the name sounds, not a direct translation.

Here are some possible spellings, depending on how you want to emphasize the sound:

* Alekantera: This is the most common and closest to the original spelling, using "k" for the "x" sound.

* Alekana: This emphasizes the "a" sound in "Alexandra" with a shorter "na" ending.

* Alekesandra: This uses "s" for the "x" sound, making it closer to the English pronunciation.

Ultimately, the best spelling for you will depend on your preference and how you want the name to be pronounced.
