What does Goku's "Kamehameha" mean?

Goku says "Kamehameha" because it's the name of the powerful energy wave technique taught to him by Master Roshi (Kame Sennin, or Turtle Hermit), with the name itself being a clever nod to both the "turtle" (kame) theme and the famous Hawaiian King Kamehameha the Great, a suggestion from creator Akira Toriyama's wife to make it memorable. It sounds like "Turtle Destruction Wave" in Japanese, fitting for the Turtle School's signature move.
