Ewa District, Hawaii

ʻEwa was one of the original districts, known as moku, of the island of Oʻahu in Ancient Hawaii history.

The word ʻewa means "crooked" or "ill-fitting" in Hawaiian. The name comes from the myth that the gods Kāne and Kanaloa threw a stone to determine the boundaries, but it was lost and later found at Pili o Kahe.

ʻEwa is used in Honolulu to indicate the western direction, in opposition to Diamond Head for the eastern direction.
