Waikoloa

Waikoloa is an important one and a hard one - Waikoloa is a village on the West side of the Big Island. There is also a Waikoloa Golf Course and a Waikoloa Road and Waikoloa Beach Drive, and several hotels on the coast seem like they are in the Waikoloa Village, (like the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Aston Shores at Waikoloa) but they really are about 6 miles away. Waikoloa is the name of a certain kind of wind in Hawaiian, so simplisticly I guess you could say it means windy. Sometimes these areas do get really windy, but most of the hotels are built in ways to minimize the wind on their grounds. I've never noticed wind at the Hilton.

So, some misspellings are: waikola, waikloa, waikoaloa, waikoalo, wikoloa.
