She was a daughter and successor of the chief Mokulani and the chiefess Papaikaniau, otherwise known as Niau, the daughter of Kuimeheua and Kalanikueiwalono.

Her name can mean "heavenly inspiration and growth", "raised to prominence" and it can mean "a royal assemblage or collection".[1]

She was married to Keawemauhili and she bore him two sons: Keaweokahikiona and Elelule Laʻakeaelelulu.[2] She was also married to Keawe-a-Heulu, and their children were orator Naihe and chiefess Keohohiwa, mother of Aikanaka (1790–1868).
