Hawaiian

Hawaiian can refer to:

• the Hawaiian Islands
• the Hawaiian language
• the Polynesian Hawaiian people

Residents of the state generally do not refer to themselves as Hawaiian unless they in fact have some Hawaiian blood (see above). They might instead refer to themselves as kama`aina, meaning "child of the land", or as locals, especially if they were born (or at least raised) in Hawaii. These latter two terms imply origin in, or great familiarity with, Hawai'i, but not Hawaiian descent.

• Hawaiian Airlines, the 12th largest commercial airline in the United States.
• A type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent rather than building a dome or being thrown into the air by gas pressure (see Hawaiian eruption)
