Hawaii - meaning of name


Expert: Malia - 5/9/2009

Question
What is the meaning for a girl's name of Maile?

Answer
Here I am
Sorry for the late reply
Maile is a green leaf used for lei that are open in the middle, so they hang down rather than look like a long necklace
Maile is very fragrant, green, like a vine.
Even though the Maile leis are often used for men, Maile is a girls' name.
It is a sweet smelling leaf that's why it's more for girls as a name.
Hope this helps
Malia
