The standard English spelling is Hawaii.

Correct spelling

  • In everyday English (maps, news, government), the word is spelled Hawaii with two “i”s at the end.
  • In the Hawaiian language, the name is written Hawaiʻi , with an ʻokina (a glottal stop) before the last “i”, but this special mark is often left out in English.

Easy way to remember it

  • Think: “Ha–wai–i” → three parts, ending with a double i.
  • A common visual trick is to imagine two palm trees side by side for the two “i”s at the end.
