In Hawaiian, "kalauao" means "the multitude of clouds" and is the name of the ahupuaʻa in which it is located.[6][7] The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the nine rail stations on the ʻEwa end of the rail system (stations west of and including Aloha Stadium) in November 2017,[8] and HART adopted the proposed names on February 22, 2018.[9] The Hawaiian name initially proposed for the station, Puʻuloa, means "long hill" and refers to an ʻili that marked the entrance to the bays of Puʻuloa.[8]
