Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ohana: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2022.
Ohana is a name of Hawaiian origin, meaning "family" or "kin," reflecting the deep communal bonds central to Hawaiian culture. While not traditionally Scottish, it has appeared in Scottish birth records in recent decades, likely inspired by the Disney film *Lilo & Stitch*, which popularised the phrase "Ohana means family." The name does not have famous historical bearers, but its cultural resonance is strong through the film's message of belonging. There are no direct place connections, though the concept of *ohana* is celebrated in Hawaiian communities worldwide. A notable variant is the masculine form Ohani, though Ohana is predominantly used as a feminine name in Scotland. Its warm, inclusive meaning makes it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name with a positive, family-oriented ethos.
