A popular fable is that the word means "without breath". This meaning was attributed to Native Hawaiian Professor [[Frederick William Kahapula Beckley Jr.]] by [[Charles W. Kenn]], in his 1944 article in the publication "Paradise of the Pacific". According to that author, Beckley states: "The white people came to be known as ha-ole (without breath) because after they said their prayers, they did not breathe three times as was customary in ancient Hawaii."<ref name="VoicesOfEden">{{cite book |last1=Schütz |first1=Albert J. |title=The Voices of Eden: A History of Hawaiian Language Studies |date=1 January 1995 |publisher=University of Hawaii Press |isbn=978-0-8248-1637-7 |page=213 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=niV4UZPzhzEC&dq=haole+without+breath&pg=PA213 |access-date=9 July 2021 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Kenn" /><ref name="The Hawaii Book" /> 

Kenn wrote: "In the primary and esoteric meaning, haole indicates a race that has no relation to one's own; an outsider, one who does not conform to the mores of the group; one that is void of the life element because of inattention to natural laws which make for the goodness in man."<ref name="Kenn">{{Cite journal|title= What is a Haole? |first=Charles W. |last=Kenn |journal=Paradise of the Pacific |date=August 1944 |page=16 }}</ref><ref name="The Hawaii Book">{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=PtUNAQAAIAAJ&q=The+late+St.+Chad+Piianaia+,+who+was+educated+in+England+,+defined+the+word+haole+as | title = The Hawaii Book: Story of Our Island Paradise - Google Books | work = What is a Haole?|first = Charles W.| last = Kenn| date = 1961| publisher = J.G.

Schütz, former professor of linguistics at the [[University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa]], believes that there is no documentation this ''ha-ole'' etymology is accurate and, based on that, states: "Thus, as far as we know, the word ''haole'' cannot be separated into shorter words".<ref name="VoicesOfEden" />
