How do you think the creator of the name Mahalo Answers, came up with the name?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Much of the inspiration for Mahalo came from Calacanis's wife, who had put together a short email for friends and family with links to places to stay and things to do in Kauai, Hawaii, where she and Calacanis had their wedding. The list was neat, organized, informative. Calacanis wondered why search results couldn't look that way too.

1 (Calacanis): Let's make a search engine
2 (marketing man): Great, but how are we going to set it apart from the other automated search engines?
1: Let's use humans instead of huge computers
2: That's a wonderful idea. But, those humans won't do the searching for free!
1: Oh, for many just 'thanks' is enough.
2: Is that true?
1: Yes, but let's not make it too obvious: Let's use a bit of a laid-back tropical atmosphere.
2: Cool! How about Hawaii? It doesn't get much more tropical than that.
1: Very well thought. So, how do you say 'thanks' in Hawaiian?
2: ...
I'm pretty sure that's how it went...
(Just to clarify, Mahalo existed as a search engine before Mahalo Answers was added, and Mahalo means 'Thanks' in Hawaiian)

Overall the word Mahalo seems to be a great fit with defining the helpful and accommodating spirit of Mahalo and Mahalo Answers.
Then again these kids might have selected the name.
