BELINDA

BELINDA is from the Germanic and Italian and literally means like a serpent, or wise and immortal. In ancient times the serpent symbolized both wisdom and long life. An appropriate Hawaiian word for this name might be IHUPANI, which means an expert or wise person. The literal meaning is closed (pani) nose (ihu). It is thought that IHUPANI came to mean a wise person because it referred to the ability to dive deeply and hence to profound knowledge.
