* Hawaiian doesn't directly translate foreign names. Hawaiian names often have deep cultural meaning and are chosen based on birth order, day of the week, or other factors.
* Closest Sound: If you're looking for a similar-sounding name, "Hōʻea" (pronounced "HO-eh-ah") is the closest. It means "arrival" or "to come."
* Meaning-Based: If you want a name that reflects Jorge's meaning or personality, consider:
* Keawe (KAY-ay-vay) meaning "brave" or "strong"
* Kaimana (KY-mah-nah) meaning "sea" or "ocean," could represent strength and resilience
* Iokepa (ee-oh-KAY-pah) meaning "Jehovah is my father" could be a spiritual connection
Ultimately, the best way to choose a Hawaiian name for "Jorge" is to consider what qualities you want to represent.
