No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke kumu o kēia huaʻōlelo kūʻokoʻa, pono mākou e ʻimi i ka moʻolelo o ka haʻuki.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Pickleball i ka makahiki 1965 e ʻekolu makua kāne - ʻo Joel Pritchard, ʻo Bill Bell a me Barney McCallum - ma Bainbridge Island, Wakinekona. Manaʻo ʻia, e ʻimi ana lākou i kahi hana leʻaleʻa e hoʻokipa ai i nā keiki i ke kauwela. Ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa lākou i ka pāʻani me ka pā badminton, kekahi mau ʻōpeʻa tennis papaʻaina a me ka pōʻai ʻiʻo ʻāwīwī. I ka ulu ʻana o ka haʻuki, ua hoʻohui ʻia me ka tennis, badminton a me ka tennis papaʻaina e hana i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa.

Ano, i na inoa. ʻElua mau manaʻo kaulana e pili ana i ke kumu o ka inoa pickleball. Ua hōʻike mua ʻia ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ma muli o ka ʻīlio a Pritchard Pickles, nāna e alualu i ka pōleʻa a holo pū me ia. Ua paʻa kēia moʻolelo hoʻohiwahiwa i ka puʻuwai o nā mea he nui, akā ʻo ka mea kupaianaha, ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike e kākoʻo ai. ʻO ka manaʻo ʻelua i ʻae nui ʻia ʻo ia ka inoa mai ka huaʻōlelo "pickle boat," e pili ana i ka moku hope loa i ka heihei hoe e hoʻi mai me kahi iʻa. Hōʻike ka huaʻōlelo i ka hui eclectic o nā neʻe a me nā ʻano like ʻole i ka haʻuki.
