How do you say Amelia in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct, perfect translation of "Amelia" into Hawaiian. Hawaiian language doesn't have the "m" sound, and it prefers softer, flowing sounds.

However, here are some options depending on the meaning you want to convey:

Closest Sound:

* "Anelia" (pronounced ah-nay-lee-ah) is the closest you'll get to the sound of "Amelia". It uses the closest approximation of the "m" sound in Hawaiian.

Meaning-Based Options:

* "Aloha" (ah-loh-hah): This is the most widely known Hawaiian word, meaning "love," "affection," or "compassion." It's not a direct translation but evokes a positive and welcoming feeling.

* "ʻAlia" (ah-lee-ah): This means "noble" or "high-born."

* "ʻĀina" (ah-ee-nah): This means "land," "country," or "homeland."

Other Options:

* "Melia" (may-lee-ah): This is a shortened version of Amelia, which is still somewhat recognizable and could be used.

Ultimately, the best option for you will depend on what you want to communicate.
