Haho [1] [2] (born c. 1098 in Hawaii [3]) was an ancient Hawaiian High Chief ( Aliʻi), [4] who was a ruler of Maui. He is mentioned in legends and old chants and is also called Hoaho. [5]
Haho was a son of Paumakua of Maui and High Chiefess Manokalililani, who was a daughter of Chiefess Hoʻohokukalani II (named after the goddess Hoʻohokukalani) and sister of Paumakua. [6]
He married High Chiefess Kauilaʻanapa (also called Kauilaianapu in chants). Their son was Palena of Maui and his daughter-in-law was Hikawai-Nui, who was a daughter of Kauilaʻanapa and her other husband, Limaloa-Lialea. [7]
Haho and his son are mentioned in chant Kumulipo. [8]
Haho was remembered as the founder of the Aha-Aliʻi, an institution which literally means "the congregation of chiefs".
