Josh introduces himself well in a video you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The name “Fonokalafi” is built on ancient words that mean ... I'm still looking (see below the subscribe-bar)
The word “Polynesian” (i.e. describing someone from the South Pacific group of islands---including Hawaii, New Zealand, Easter Island, Tuvalu, Tokelau, etc.) ... 
is built on ancient words that mean "Many (based on ancient words that mean 'to Fill') |Islands (see #Chersonese (name (of a |peninsula) based on ancient words that mean "|Dry Land + |Island" or ancient words that mean "Flooded Land near a River, |Alluvial Land, to |Swim))."
#Polynesia #Polynesians
The word “Self-Deprecation” is built of the words Self & #Deprecation (built on ancient words that mean "to Pray (Ask, |Entreat) Away" (it is "Expressing |Disapproval (often 'of yourself')," but is also "a Prayer to |Avert or Remove some Evil or Disaster")

Searching for the meaning of Josh's surname, I also found (beside the Britannica-entry linked above):
These probably aren't 'him,' but they ARE "what came up when I 'Bing Images'-ed 'Fonokalafi Tattoos'"
