n the Hawaiian language, ono means delicious. Your Ono would be ono loa
(VERY delicious).

*Ono (Acanthocybium solandri), commonly known as wahoo, is a close relative
of the king mackerel. Unlike true mackerel, ono rarely school, but groups
may be found around fish aggregation buoys. Surface catches indicate that
ono associate with banks, pinnacles and flotsam. However, longline catches
suggest that this species is also widely distributed in the open ocean. *

*Ono may grow to more than 100 pounds in round weight, but the usual size of
the fish caught in Hawaii is 8 to 30 pounds in round weight.*
