“
Kamehameha was the only one with the audacity to blaspheme the name of ‘Io by mentioning it openly. He named his son Liholiho ‘Iolani. The name ‘Iolani was then given to Liholiho’s grand nephew, Alexander Liholiho, who then named the royal palace ‘Iolani. Ahuena attributes the extinction of the royal family and of the monarchy to this sacrilege by the royal family.
