Hawaiian word meaning clever, smart, or wise; also relating to cunning or strategic thinking.
From Hawaiian 'akamai,' of uncertain ultimate origin, but deeply embedded in Hawaiian language and culture for generations. Also used as a place name (Akamai, a type of land).
Akamai entered global tech vocabulary when a Hawaiian-named content delivery company (Akamai Technologies) became essential internet infrastructure—it's the only major tech company whose name is a Hawaiian adjective meaning 'clever,' a fitting choice for a smart software company.
