The capital and largest city of Hawaii, located on the island of Oahu. A major Pacific port and tourist destination known for Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor.
From Hawaiian 'Honolulu' meaning 'sheltered harbor' or 'calm port', from 'hono' (bay, harbor) + 'lulu' (calm, sheltered). The name perfectly describes the city's protected harbor that made it an ideal port for Pacific trade.
