Makai is a modern baby boy's name of Hawaiian and Hebrew origin. Inspired by the Hebrew name Matthew, Makai or Makaio means "gift of God" and may appeal to a parent with religious values. Makai is also linked to its Hawaiian roots, meaning “toward the sea” or “seaward,” keeping baby close to their home or tropical island. Nonetheless, this baby name will certainly stand out in the playground with its lyrical sound and original appeal.
