What does the word makiki mean in hawaiian?

"Makiki" in Hawaiian doesn't have a specific meaning on its own. It's more likely that you are thinking of "Makika", which means "to speak in a soft, whispering voice".

It's possible you might be getting confused because there is a Makiki neighborhood in Honolulu, Hawaii. It's named after the Makiki Stream, which is a Hawaiian word meaning "to close or shut".

Therefore, to accurately understand the meaning, you need to provide context.
