Kona, of Hawaiian origin, means 'the calmness after a storm.' It is often associated with the peaceful and serene nature of the tropical climate.
The name Kona experienced a significant increase in popularity over the past few decades, with a notable surge starting from the late 2010s. Between 1963 and 2017, there were fewer than 10 births per year on average. However, since 2018, the number of births has nearly doubled, reaching as high as 17 in both 2019 and 2022. Despite this recent growth, Kona remains a relatively uncommon name overall, with a total of 228 recorded births over the 59-year period.
