Liliʻuokalani was born Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Kamakaʻeha [1] [note 1] on September 2, 1838, to Analea Keohokālole and Caesar Kapaʻakea.She was born in the large grass hut of her maternal grandfather, ʻAikanaka, at the base of Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
In defense of Aloha Oe being written by Liliuokalani, there exists a small note in the Queen's handwriting where she penned at least the words to the song in the carriage on the day she wrote the song. Some of her companions suggested the melody came from a Prussian hymn, and that may well be.

He admired not only the beauty of the music but spoke enthusiastically of the appropriate words, so well adapted to the air and to the purpose for which they were written.
