Piʻilaniwahine II (piʻilani = "ascent to heaven", wahine = "woman/ wife") was a Hawaiian High Chiefess. [1] She is known to us today from the old chants. [2]

Piʻilaniwahine lived in ancient Hawaii. Piʻilaniwahine’s mother was Kekaikuʻihala I; Piʻilaniwahine’s father was Kalanikaumakaowākea. [3]

Piʻilaniwahine married twice. First she married Ahu-a-ʻI; their child was Queen Lonomaʻaikanaka of Hawaiʻi.[ citation needed] Piʻilaniwahine's second husband was Moana. Their son was named Lono, after the god.
