Poki
Street near the Puna-hou School campus, Honolulu, probably named for Boki Ka-māʻuleʻule (the one who faints), governor of Oʻahu and husband of Liliha. He accompanied Ka-mehameha II to England. In 1829 he set off on an expedition to the New Hebrides in search of sandalwood, but his ship and all aboard disappeared. (RC 294–296.) Boki may have been named for Ka-mehameha Iʻs pet dog, Poki (from English "boss"). At the time of Boki's birth, many dogs were named Poki, including dog guardians (kiaʻi).
