Aiea is a town and census-designated place (CDP) located in Honolulu County, Hawaii. As of the 2000 Census, the CDP had a total population of 9,019.
The people of Aiea pronounce it "I-ay-uh."
Some residents of Aiea claim that their town is the only town in the world spelled with only vowels. This claim may or may not be valid, depending on whether or not one regards the okina to be part of the name "Aiea" or not. Because the okina is considered a consonant in the Hawaiian language, this claim is technically incorrect. However, when people outside of Hawaii speak of Aiea, they usually don't include the okina (for example, the title of this article does not include an okina). In this context, claims that Aiea is the only town in the world spelled with only vowels are valid. However there is one other town in the world spelled with only vowels and that would be Ea, Spain.
