What’s in a Restaurant Name?
One of the rules of the restaurant business–indeed of any business–is keep it simple when it comes to names. Pick a restaurant name that’s evocative of what you’re trying to do, but also easy to spell, easy to say, and easy to remember.
Those are the rules. But I’m not a big fan of rules.
What I am a fan of is the Grand Wailea Resort’s newly remodeled, upscale restaurant, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Yes, that’s right, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. What’s it mean? It’s the Hawaiian name of the tiny reef triggerfish, the island chain’s once and present state fish.

If you have a favorite oddball or long restaurant name–and that might be tough, since most restaurants stick to the short-and-sweet rule–leave it in comments.
