What Does “Hapa” Mean?
Rooted in the Hawaiian language, hapa originally meant “part” or “mixed.” Over time, it has come to represent individuals of mixed Asian or Pacific Islander descent, often with a blend of other cultural heritages. While the term carries deep cultural significance, it has also evolved into a symbol of unity, diversity, and pride for countless people worldwide.
