Hawaii board votes to change official name of Hawaii Island

The Hawaii Board on Geographic Names has officially voted to change the name of the “Island of Hawaii” to simply “Hawaii.”

This decision aligns the island’s name with the naming convention used for every other island in the state.

By dropping “Island of,” the change simplifies references and ensures consistency across all Hawaiian islands.
