Hawaii Island (The Big Island) Hawaiiâs Big Island is called âThe Big Islandâ because, well, itâs the biggest island in the chain. But more than that, the islandâs official name is âHawaiiâ and thatâs just too confusing when the whole state â all the islands collectively â has the same name. So when you say youâre visiting Hawaii, youâll have to be more specific if you want people to understand youâre visiting the Big Island of Hawaii.
With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States. The island of Hawaii is the third largest island in Polynesia, behind the two main islands of New Zealand. The island is often referred to as the Island of HawaiÊ»i, the Big Island, or HawaiÊ»i Island to distinguish between the island and the state. Administratively, the whole island is encompassed by HawaiÊ»i County.
