Powehi: black hole gets a name meaning 'the adorned fathomless dark creation'

The black hole that was depicted for the first time this week in in an image produced in a landmark experiment has been named by a language professor in Hawaii.
University of Hawaii-Hilo Hawaiian professor Larry Kimura named the cosmic object Powehi, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Thursday.
..
Powehi means “the adorned fathomless dark creation” or “embellished dark source of unending creation” and comes from the Kumulipo, an 18th century Hawaiian creation chant. Po is a profound dark source of unending creation, while wehi, meaning honoured with embellishments, is one of the chant’s descriptions of po, the newspaper reported.

Would make for a sick band name.

Definitely a sludge metal band.

First there was Oumuamua, and now Powehi. Is this Hawaii’s time in the sun, so to speak?

I like it. A lot of space research takes place in Hawaii and the language makes good names.

It seems like a nice name right now, because it's the only BlackHole we have imaged at the moment. In 10 years, once we'd mapped out all big ones in the local super cluster, the name will seem pretty lame for anyone who doesn't it was the special first one pictured. It's just too generic and does nothing to differentiate it from other big arse collapsed stars.
My idea for a better name: this thing powers Messier 87, the Alpha galaxy of the Virgo Cluster. So call it Asch Von Virgo Magnus or Virgeaux Optimus Anus or something suggesting the bunghole of the biggest part of Virgo.
