Kumuhonua was a son of the High Chief Mulielealiʻi of Oahu. Mulielealiʻi was a son of the famous wizard Maweke from Tahiti.[1]
Kumuhonuaʻs mother was called Wehelani, and Kumuhonuaʻs siblings were Chief Moʻikeha of Kauai, Chief ʻOlopana and Princess Hainakolo.[2] ʻOlopana went to Tahiti.
It seems that Kumuhonua was the eldest child of his parents. His mother was also married to his paternal uncle Keaunui of ʻEwa, whom she bore Nuʻakea[3] of Molokai. Kumuhonua was related to the Chiefess Mualani of Koʻolau Range.
Chief Kumuhonua started his own dynasty on Oʻahu. According to the judge Abraham Fornander, Kumuhonua had four sons; their mother is unknown.[4]
