In Hawaiian, "tutu" (with the macron over the "u") means grandparent. It
can be used to refer to either a grandfather or grandmother, though more
specific terms like "tutu wahine" (grandmother) and "tutu kāne"
(grandfather) can also be used. The word "tutu" can also be used
informally to refer to any elder or elder figure within the family

Wahine also means woman in Maori. Maori and Hawaiian are related.
Aloha is aroha in Maori.
