Laufitu would have been the first to hold the title of and to be correctly referred to as Radini Nayau.

Laufitu was a daughter of the Chief of Totoya and a woman of Vavaʻu. Laufitu and her younger sister Radavu were sent as wives for Rasolo. It is from Laufitu that the noble household of Matailakeba claims descent.[2]
