What is the most popular dog name in Hawaii?
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | The Meaning of the Hawaiian Word, Kahu
An Instagram video went viral sharing the meaning of the Hawaiian term Kahu. You can watch the video below, which has received over 13 million views. According to the Univerity of Hawaii, the word Kahu has various meanings, including "one who has a dog, cat, pig, or other pet," but also "honored attendant, guardian, keeper, caretaker…"
This word so beautifully describes the caring relationship between humans and their animals. Dogs depend on their humans for care, and this is similar to the bond between an infant and their parents. People are entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious, something cherished, as the video describes. A Kahu doesn't protect their "property"; they protect a part of their soul.
