Pu'u Kōnāhuanui consists of two mountain peaks located in Honolulu County, Hawaii. It is the highest point in the Koʻolau Mountains and second highest point on the island of Oahu. [3]
The Hawaiian word "Kōnāhuanui" roughly translates to "large testicles" in English. This alludes to a legend that states the mountain originated from the testicles of a giant, who threw them at a woman trying to escape from him. [3] [4]
