Quadrangle, mountain range, land division, town, valley, school, district, and homesteads, Oʻahu. A lizard goddess named Pūhāwai (water hollow) once lived inland at a place called Pūhā; she stole a woman's husband; the wind god, Makanikeoe, restored him to her. Literally, mullet water.

Literally, mullet water. Perhaps from mullet in the muliwai, or brackish-water pools, that were once common in the backshore on many Waiʻanae beaches.
