Hawaiian Country Names
The goal of this page is to list the Hawaiian translations for every country name on Earth. While I'm sure we are still missing some countries (there's just so many!), we have made great progress so far and have quite the list for you to learn from.
Therefore, if you are looking to learn the country names in Hawaiian, head on down to the list below. There's a pretty good chance the specific country name you are looking for is somewhere on the list. For ease of use, this page is listed alphabetically by the Hawaiian translation, but if you'd like to see this list in order of the English translations, there's a link for that below.
Below the main list of country names you'll also find a couple of shorter lists, the first being for continent names in Hawaiian, and finally, a section for ocean names.
