Makaio Origin and Meaning

The name Makaio is a boy's name meaning "gift of God".

A refreshing variation on the Biblical classic Matthew, this Hawaiian form blends the stylish -o ending with the cool Kai sound. First appearing in the US stats in 1999, it has been climbing steadily upwards ever since.

The name of a popular ukulele brand, a famous orca, and two popular horses on Instagram, Makaio was given to nearly 90 boys in 2023 and with Makai already in the Top 1000, Makaio might continue to rise.
