Kamehameha II (c. 1797 – July 14, 1824) was the second king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. His birth name was Liholiho and full name was ''Kalaninui kua Liholiho i ke kapu Iolani''. It was lengthened to ''Kalani Kaleiaimoku o Kaiwikapu o Laamea i Kauikawekiu Ahilapalapa Kealii Kauinamoku o Kahekili Kalaninui i Mamao Iolani i Ka Liholiho'' when he took the throne. ==Early life== He was born circa 1797 in Hilo, on the island of Hawaii, the first born son of Kamehameha I with his highest-ranking wife Keōpuolani. It was originally planned that he would be born at the Kūkaniloko birth site on the island of Oahu but the Queen's sickness prevented travel. Given in care to his father's trusted servant Hanapi, who took the child to rear him in the lands of Kalaoa in Hilo Paliku, he was taken back, after five or six months, by his maternal grandmother Kekuʻiapoiwa Liliha because she felt he was not getting the right diet. Kamehameha I, then, put him in the care of Queen Kaahumanu (another wife of Kamehameha I), who was appointed as Liholiho's official guardian. Jean Baptiste Rives, a Frenchman about his age, arrived on the islands in the early 19th century. Rives taught the royal princes some English and French, becoming a close friend (''aikāne''). Other companions included Charles Kanaʻina, Kekūanāoʻa and Laʻanui. He was named Iolani Liholiho. His first name meant "royal hawk" while his second name: ''Liholiho'' is a contraction of ''Kalaninuiliholiho'' (The Heaven's great black). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kamehameha II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
