How do you say Austin in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct Hawaiian translation for "Austin". Hawaiian language primarily uses sounds that are present in their own language, and "Austin" has some sounds that are not common in Hawaiian.

However, you could try these approaches:

1. Phonetic Approximation:

* "Aukini" - This pronunciation is closest to the English "Austin" while using Hawaiian sounds.

2. Meaning-based Translation:

* You could translate the meaning of "Austin" instead of the name itself. For example, if Austin is known for a particular quality, you could translate that quality into Hawaiian. For example, if Austin is known for being strong, you could use "ʻIkaika" (strong).

3. Transliteration:

* "ʻAuetina" - This is a more literal transliteration, but it might be difficult for native Hawaiian speakers to pronounce.

Ultimately, the best way to say "Austin" in Hawaiian depends on your specific needs and context.
