Thanks to rrrevils for coming up with the closest approximations...The names are spelled correctly, Sorry for the typos "Hawaiian" and "does". Another spelling for Sunnia could be Suhniahd

Thanx to Sylveryst for the definitive Answer to the meaning of the mame Keikoa. I Like that. "Proud Warrior". Am still looking for the Meaning of the name "Sunnia". Hve been told it is ancient, even going back to Sanskrit !!!??? Ha been in an Irish family tree for not quite that long...

For Keikoa...
"Kei" = dignified, proud, glorious
"koa" can mean several things...the two definitions that make the most sense are: a type of native tree or "soldier, warrior, fighter."
So, Keikoa can mean "dignified koa tree," "proud warrior," etc. I'm guessing that the most probable meaning is "proud warrior."
I'm stumped on Sunnia/Suhniahd...I can't find it anywhere. I'm wondering if some Anglicize this name differently than "Sunnia." The following website has a number of Irish names and is in the process of adding more...maybe Sunnia will be added sometime in the future. http://www.irishbabynamesplus.com/

I am not completely convinced you've spelled these names correctly.
Suibhne and Suidhne are the closest I can figure you might mean, which could also be Sweeny, meaning small hero.
Keikoa could also be misspelled, so I am using Kealoha, again the closest, meaning love.
