Papa or Papahānaumoku (literally, broad place who gives birth to islands), is the name of the Kanaka Maoli creator goddess in Hawaiian mythology. Together with her husband Wākea (sky father) Papa is the ancestor of all people and Kalo, and mother of islands as the Kanaka Maoli manifestation of Mother Earth. The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument was renamed in 2007 to the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, a variant form of her name.
