Aloha, Washington Aloha, Washington Aloha is an unincorporated community in Grays Harbor County, in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located two miles east of the Pacific Ocean at Beaver Creek in west central Grays Harbor County. The community was named after the Hawaiian-language word "aloha". The name may have been inspired by the song "Aloha ʻOe". Aloha was once home to Aloha Mill & Lumber Company. It was founded by R. D. Emerson and W. H. Dole in 1905. The name, a Hawaiian greeting, was chosen by members of the Dole family, who were landowners and business people in Hawaii.
Ciao Ciao The word "ciao" (; ) is an informal salutation in the Italian language that is used for both "hello" and "goodbye". Originally from the Venetian language, it has entered the vocabulary of English and of many other languages around the world. Its dual meaning of "hello" and "goodbye" makes it similar to "shalom" in Hebrew, "salaam" in Arabic, "annyeong" in Korean, and "aloha" in Hawaiian. The word derives from the Venetian phrase "s-ciào vostro" or "s-ciào su" literally meaning "I am your slave". This greeting is analogous to the medieval Latin "Servus" which is still used colloquially in parts
