Ohana

Ohana is a Hawaiian term meaning "family" (in an extended sense of the term, including blood-related, adoptive or intentional). The term is cognate with Māori, meaning "nest". The root word ohā refers to the root or corm of the kalo, or taro plant (the staple "staff of life" in Hawaii), which Kanaka Maoli consider to be their cosmological ancestor.

In contemporary Hawaiian real estate jargon, an "ohana unit" is a type of secondary suite. It is a part of a house or a separate structure on the same lot that may contain a relative but which may not be rented to the general public.

In popular culture
The word is referenced in Disney's 2002 film, Lilo & Stitch, and throughout its franchise ("Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind—or forgotten.").
