Hokulei (Hōkū-lei) combines the Hawaiian hōkū (star) and lei (garland) — "garland of stars" or "crown of stars." A poetic Hawaiian feminine name.
Used widely in Hawaii.
Hokulei does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hokulei reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
