John Green Hoapili Kanehoa are not lineal descendants of Kamanawa. There are 3 distinct but different bloodlines with Hoapili. Ulumaheihei Hoapili of Kameiaumoku lineage, Robert Baker Hoapili of Liloa lineage, and John Green Hoapili of Kaneoneo and Kalanikauiokikilo lineage. Perhaps they pay tribute to its meaning Hoapili (My close friend),or maybe for being one of the first Christian converts.
