Kaʻūpūlehu
/ Ka-ʻū-pūlehu /Land division near the sea, Kailua and Puakō qds., North Kona, Hawaiʻi. The Kaʻūpūlehu lava flow of 1801 started above here at 5,500 to 6,000 feet on Hualālai and flowed to the sea. (Macdonald and Abbott 51–52.) Literally, the roasted breadfruit (ʻū is short for ʻulu). Pele met two girls, Pāhinahina and Kolomuʻo, roasting breadfruit here (known then as Manuahi). Only Pāhinahina shared her breadfruit. That night Hualālai erupted near Huʻehuʻe and destroyed the village, but spared the home of Pāhinahina. See Huʻehuʻe. In another legend, the name is a contraction of Kaimupūlehuakeakua (the roasting oven of the god).
