I always figured it was reference to the humuhumunukunukuapuaa.

I didn't think she resembled: either of two triggerfishes, Rhinecanthus aculeatus or R. rectangulus, native to the outer reefs of Hawaii, the latter having a broad black band on the side and a black triangle at the beginning of the tail.

I didn't notice a nukunuku on her either.
