Aloha - commonly use, especially well known to tourists.
Komo Mai - welcome.
Welina - similar as Aloha, but use more often in ancient days. My co-worker name her daughter this. She told me it means welcome. She is part Hawaiian.

Welcome (to individual or group of people): "E komo mai"
You are welcome: many different ways to say this... one option is "No'u ka hau'oli" (mine is the happiness).
And according to the Puku'i Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary (the authoritative source):
welcome
Heahea. There is no equivalent to the English; one may say hale: he hale kou, you have a house (you are always welcome there). Call of welcome, heahea, kÄhea, pÄ kÄhea. To welcome guests, hoÊ»okipa i ka malihini. Welcome song, mele komo. You are welcome, he mea iki, he mea Ê»ole (lit. a little thing, nothing; modern). Expression of welcome: should [you wish to] come to the land, there is a house, poi, fish for you, and land is for you, i kÅ« Ä hele mai i ka Ê»Äina, he hale, he Ê»ai, he iÊ»a nou, nou ka Ê»Äina. To wear out a welcome, uluhua i ka pÄ«naÊ»i. Welcome! E komo mai! Mai! He mai!
