What does Kona mean?
2 syllables

Kona is a Hawaiian word for the leeward, or southwest-facing, side of the islands, and is also used for the warm southwesterly winds that blow in from that direction. It's best known today as the name of the Kona district on Hawaii's Big Island, famous worldwide for its coffee.

It has a warm, tropical sound that suits a pet with a relaxed, sunny disposition. Kona feels adventurous and outdoorsy without being showy, fitting a companion who's happiest catching a breeze.
