Kalākua Kaheiheimālie

Kalākua Kaheiheimālie, later known as Hoapili Wahine (c.1778–1842) was a member of Hawaiian royalty who was one of the queen consorts at the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii. She was the mother of another queen consort, and grandmother of two future kings. Some sources call her Kaheiheimaile rather than Kaheiheimālie. "Mālie" means serene while the "maile" is the vine Alyxia olivaeformis. The second spelling seems to be older and more appropriate.
