別名阿囉哈州(Aloha
State，在夏威夷，aloha是哈囉的意思)。夏威夷是位於太平洋中央的一系列火山群島，它在1959年加入聯邦，成為美國第50州。夏威夷一字可能是源自於一個原住民字：hawaiki
或o
whyhee，意即家鄉。現在，首府為火奴魯魯(Honolulu)的夏威夷常被人稱做太平洋的十字路口(Crossroads
of the Pacific)，它也是一個極受歡迎的渡假勝地。鮮艷的黃芙蓉是夏威夷的州花。
Known as the "Aloha State" (in Hawaiian, "aloha" means "hello"), Hawaii is a group of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean that together became the 50th state in 1959. The state's name is possibly derived from a native Hawaiian word for homeland, hawaiki or owhyhee. Today, Hawaii, whose capital is Honolulu, is often called the "Crossroads of the Pacific" and is a popular vacation spot. The colorful hibiscus is the state flower.
