Did you Know? Duke was a five-time Olympic
medalist in swimming. He was an actor, lawman, beach volleyball and businessman credited with
spreading the sport of surfing. The name "Duke" is not a title, but a given name. He was named after his father, Duke Halapu Kahanamoku, who was christened "Duke" by Bernice Pauahi Bishop in honor of Prince Alfred, who was visiting Hawaii at the time of the elder man's birth in 1869.
