"In 1915, James N.K. Keola, in an article he authored in Mid-Pacific Magazine entitled "Old Lahaina" wrote: "Lahaina is said to have received its name from La, the sun, and haina, merciless. A bald-headed chief who lived at Kauaula Valley, while going to and fro without a hat, felt annoyed at the effects of the scorching rays of the burning sun. He looked up and gazed into the heavens and cursed at the sun thus: "He keu hoi keia o ka la haina!"
