How many officially recognized dwarf planets in the solar system are named after Polynesian deities?

The story behind the answer

Two: Haumea and Makemake. Haumea, a fast-spinning, elongated Kuiper Belt dwarf planet, is named for the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth and fertility. Makemake, discovered near Easter 2005, honors the Rapa Nui creator god from Easter Island. The other officially recognized dwarf planets—Ceres (Roman agriculture), Pluto (Roman underworld), and Eris (Greek discord)—are not Polynesian. The IAU often names trans‑Neptunian objects after mythological creation or fertility deities, which is why both Polynesian names appear beyond Neptune. Memory tip: think Pacific pair—Hawaii (Haumea) and Rapa Nui (Makemake)—the two Polynesian deities among the five dwarf planets.
