"Aloha" is a well-known Hawaiian word that is used when greeting someone and also when saying farewell. Although its general use is to say both hello and good-bye, Hawaiians use Aloha as an expression of love and affection. In fact, many Hawaiians consider Aloha a way of life rather than just a word. As for the word itself, the literal translation of Aloha from Hawaiian to English is “the presence of breath;” “Alo” is a Hawaiian word for presence and “ha” means breath. The Aloha sign shown here is an early logo of a major Hawaiian air carrier, Aloha Airlines, which operated from 1946 to 2008.
