Wave or surging surf
In the Hawaiian language, Nalu refers to the waves or surf of the ocean. It can also describe the act of meditating or 'combing' through thoughts, much like the rhythmic motion of the sea. It is a popular nature-inspired choice in Hawaii that is gaining interest on the mainland for its simple, breezy sound.
About 16 boys were named Nalu in 2025.
