Unknown; possibly a modern variant of Keona or Kiana
The exact etymology of Kiauna is unclear, though it is often used as a modern American phonetic variant of Kiana or Keona. Kiana is frequently associated with the Hawaiian name Kianna, meaning 'divine' or 'heavenly,' while Keona can mean 'God's gracious gift.' As a rare name, it likely evolved through creative spelling trends in the late 20th century.
