Māmala

Wahi ｜ Location, Place Names of Hawaiʻi (1974),

Bay, Honolulu Harbor to Pearl Harbor, Oʻahu, named for a shark woman who lived at the entrance of Honolulu Harbor and often played kōnane. She left her shark husband, ʻOuha, for Hono-kaʻupu. ʻOuha then became the shark god of Wai-kīkī and of Koko Head (Finney and Houston 39; Westervelt, 1964b:15, 52-54). In the song "Nā ka Pueo" (Elbert and Mahoe 81), the name of the bay is juxtaposed to mālama, to protect: Ma ka ʻilikai aʻo Māmala, mālama iho ke aloha, on the surface [of the sea] of Māmala, protect the love. See Ke-kai-o-Māmala.
