The House of Moana is a princely line of the Islands of Hawaii. The line begins with Moana kāne (sometimes Moanakāne), the son of Keākealani Kāne, aliʻi nui of the island of Hawaiʻi, and is also the name of the ruler's granddaughter. Moana kāne and Moana Wahine's descendants include many, if not most of the monarchs from the House of Kamehameha. In the Hawaiian language moana means "ocean".[1] The word combines moe and ana ("a lying down") and can also mean the act of prostrating oneself by leaning forward on one's hands and knees in the presence of a chief, or the act of worship.[2] Ku-hai-moana is the most famous of the Hawaiian shark gods.[3]
