AboutMalia Expertise Aloha,
I can answer I would say about 99 % of all questions relating to Hawai`i.
Experience I work for tour agencies as a tour guide so have a wonderful island experience especially from the view of travelers and newcomers to the islands. I am also a high school language teacher.
What does Mahea mean.....??? I am an artist wanting to know how to write (Full Moon) in the Hawaiian language.
Warmest Alohas'

Answer Aloha Clint,
the name for moon is "mahina" that is the most common name even though Hawaiians have a different name for the moon every night of the month.
"Mahea" means "what" as in "what's happening"?
Now as for full moon "Hilo" just as the town on the Big Island is the name for the first night of the full moon but that name is mostly associated with the town whereas mahina is moon.
Hope this helps
Malia
