Kamehameha spellings

Well we haven't done a misspelling in a while -- so here's one.

Kamehameha - it's a park, a network of schools, several statues throughout the state, a highway, road, and a rock. These are named after Kamehameha 1, the great King. Kamehameha means the lonely one. It is pronounced 'kah may ha may ha', with accent on the first syllable. I have seen this misspelled as: kameha meha, kaemhameha, ka mehameha, kamehame.
