^^^Any diacritic symbols and such would help.

    I don't know how to put in diacritical marks when there are none, but I would pronounce it:

    Loh-koo-nah-kah-nah

    I could not find this as one word in my Hawaiian/English dictionary, but the components are:

    loku - downpour of rain or deep emotion

    na - by, for, belonging to

    kana - his,hers,its or Saint

    Hope that helps
