A Hawaiian fish; another name for a type of local fish species of the Pacific.
From Hawaiian alii (chief) combined with possibly poʻe or a related Hawaiian word for fish or creature, creating a compound Hawaiian name for a specific fish.
Hawaiian fish names are incredibly specific and tell you something about the fish—the 'aliipoe' was named in a way that might indicate it was a valued food fish in Hawaiian culture.
