The Special Meaning Behind Jason Momoa's Son's Name

As in the case with Lola Iolani Momoa, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa's full name describes something that happened on the night of his birth. 

Taking to Jason Momoa's forum after the birth of her grandson, Coni Momoa explained that Nakoa meant "warrior," and that "the name was always going to be Nakoa-Wolf" (via Just Jared). However, she added that because the night of the birth had some memorable weather — "He was born on the stormiest, rainy night" — the second-time dad decided to add something on, in the form of a first middle name. "Jason did the research," she explained. Thus, "Mana (strength/spirit), Kaua (rain) and po (dark)." As for the child's second middle name, Namakeaha, Coni noted that it was Jason's own middle name. According to Chicago Tribune, the name means "all-knowing eyes." 

Twinning middle names aren't the only thing Jason has in common with his son these days. In fact, as E! News was quick to point out in 2021, Nakoa-Wolf is turning out to be something of a doppelgänger of his father. Hey, Lisa Bonet already has her doubles in daughters Lola and Zoë Kravitz, so that's only fair!
