      The name Kealohi is of Hawaiian origin, meaning the bright light or simply brightness. This name embodies the qualities of illumination and clarity, often signifying hope, guidance, and positivity. In Hawaiian culture, names are deeply significant and often carry attributes or aspirations associated with the individual. Thus, Kealohi reflects an essence of radiance and enlightenment.
