Which U.S. state has "Aloha State" as its nickname?

The U.S. state nicknamed the “Aloha State” is Hawaii. The nickname reflects aloha, a Hawaiian word associated with love, affection, peace, compassion, and welcome, as well as a familiar greeting and farewell.

Hawaii’s image of warm hospitality helped make “The Aloha State” its official popular name. Hawaii Revised Statutes §5-7 formally designates the name, and the phrase is also widely used on state materials and license plates. The nickname became especially prominent when Hawaii joined the United States as the 50th state in 1959.

Hawaii is an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, made up of eight principal islands and many smaller islands and islets. It is the only U.S. state composed entirely of islands and the only state located south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its nickname is sometimes confused with “The Paradise of the Pacific,” another phrase historically associated with Hawaii, but that is not the standard official nickname asked for here.
