The name Kōloa is often incorrectly translated as "native duck", which is the correct translation for the similar-looking koloa (without the macron).[3] Kōloa means "a long cane with a crook."[4][5] According to one account, the district of Kōloa was named for a steep rock called Pali-o-kō-loa which was found in Waikomo Stream.
