I lived in HI for about 14 years, when I read that stuff about 0thugga’s grandmother, it was known to me. Tutu does mean Grandma and tutukane means Grandpa. Kane (pronounced “kah ney”) means “man”.
I was trying to remember Grandpa and I just cound this silly little list, there are tons more Hawaiian pidgin sites:

Well, how convenient is that then? Senior marries ANNA TOUT, her name becomes TOOT phonetically, the family in Kenya know about her...
Meanwhile, in Hawaii, there’s Stanley Ann’s mother, she’s a grandmother nicknamed TUT. And Stanley has the middle name ANN, so we’ll call her ANN or ANNA, and Bob’s your Uncle, problem solved.
ANNA TOUT HAS DISAPPEARED. She’s been swallowed up by the MYTH of DREAMS.
