Naosara (pronunciation: ''NAH-OH-SARAH'') was a Fijian High Chief, an ancestor of Fijian royal family. His title was ''Tui Nayau'' – "Lord of the island of Nayau."〔''Vanua: towards a Fijian theology of place''. By Ilaitia S. Tuwere. Suva: Institute of Pacific Studies, 2002.〕 He was also called Tuʻivanuakula II or Tuʻinaosara. ''Tu'i'' means "chief". == Biography == Naosara was a son of the High Chief Lutunasobasoba, who is also known as Kubunavanua〔''Moala: culture and nature on a Fijian island'' by Marshall David Sahlins.〕 and was a brother of Degei II.〔(Lutunasobasobaʻs family )〕〔''The Kalou-Vu (Ancestor-Gods) of the Fijians'', Basil H. Thomson, Vol. 24, 1895 (1895), pp.340-343〕 Naosara's mother was the High Chiefess Miranalesakula, whose parents are not known. A brother of Naosara was Chief Daunisai, and he also had a stepmother and at least one sister.〔(Daunisai )〕 Naosara settled on Nayau, claiming it as his own and thus he can be assumed to be the first holder of the title Tui Nayau. He married a woman called Gelegeleavanua. Her title was ''Adi''.〔(Chiefess Gelegeleavanua )〕 They eventually had two sons, Buivaroro and Kalouyalewa, who upon reaching adulthood removed themselves to Lakeba. Buivaroro later returned to Nayau and succeeded to his father’s title. Kalouyalewa remained on Lakeba.〔(Family of Kalouyalewa )〕 Naosara also had a daughter, Chiefess Keletu.〔(Keletu )〕 Grandsons of Naosara were Chiefs Qoma,〔''Yalo i Viti: Shades of Viti'' by Fergus Clunie.
