Meaning and background

The story behind Pua

Pua is recorded as a Hawaiian name with flower and offspring senses. Both belong to the cited explanation, so presenting only an ornamental flower meaning would leave out part of its range. A garden-inspired dog name can draw on the floral sense as a personal choice. Keeping the Hawaiian context visible gives that choice a firmer grounding than treating Pua as an invented three-letter pet sound.
