Origin:Hawaiian
Meaning:Shark man
The masculine name Nanaue is blessed with an epic story for baby to sink their teeth into! It's rooted in the legend of the "shark man" in Hawaiian mythology. The story tells of Nanaue, the son of the shark king Kamohoali'i and the human maiden, Kalei. One day after bathing in a stream, young Nanaue transformed into a shark and soon developed a taste for human flesh. The people of Waipio Valley grew suspicious of his powers, but they eventually reconciled and learned how to coexist in peace. With such a meaningful name, baby will be fierce with compassion and never judge a book by its cover.
