Ahupuaʻa is derived from Hawaiian language ahu, meaning “heap” or “cairn,” and puaʻa, pig. The boundary markers for ahupuaʻa were traditionally heaps of stones used to put offers, often a pig, to the island chief. Each ahupuaʻa was divided into smaller sections called ʻili, and the ʻili were divided into kuleana.
Ahu A ʻUmi Heiau means "shrine at the temple of ʻUmi" in the Hawaiian Language. [2] It is also spelled "ahu-a-Umi", or known as Ahua A ʻUmi Heiau , which would mean "mound of ʻUmi". It was built for ʻUmi-a-Liloa , often called ʻUmi, who ruled the island of Hawaiʻi early in the 16th century.
