Kailoma (Kāi lomā) refers to Fijians of mixed heritage particularly those of European ancestry. In Vosa-Vakaviti (Fijian language), it translates to "from inside or in the middle". Nowadays, the term may include Fijians mixed with other ethnicities[1]. In the early days, the term was used interchangeably with "half-caste" however the latter is rarely used in current context and is often considered derogatory[2]. A notable example is Albert Miller, a prominent figure in Fijian athletics.
Common surnames of families with mixed European heritage in Fiji include Beddoes, Brown, Danford, Dunn, Pickering, Powell, Rounds, Smith, Simpson, and Whippy.
