well, it sounds pretty much like the Sumerian derivation is the correct one. have you found the two words with which your name was made? Pai and Lani? or Pail and Ani? etc.?
the Hawai'ian thing just sounds(!) like one of those coincidences of language.

as for wordize... we recently had a thread about izing everything. figured it fit well here. I think that with the fluidity of language, especially these days, and the cross culturality of the internet, we have almost reached a moment where words can mean what we wish them to be. a chaotic bifurcative experience sits waiting for the right impetus...
your name, can mean what you want it to mean; informed by its parts and history, but wholly you.

thanks for making me think about this...
