Try some other search engines. Like askjeeeves or dogpile or yahoo.

I'm going to vote for 'heiwa.' Although, wahei is very similar; they're identical except that the order of the kanji is reversed, which is confusing to my little (non-japanese-speaking ;p) mind.

和 わ (n) (1) sum; (2) harmony; peace; 'wa' (probably not this one)
平和 へいわ (adj-na,n) peace; harmony; 'heiwa'
和平 わへい (n,vs) peace; 'wahei'

I also found that 和平プロセス 'wahei purosesu' means 'peace process,' which combined with the fact that it has a one-word definition makes me want to lean toward 'wahei,' but the first person to reply may very well have greater knowledge of the language. Kyuui can also mean 'peace, tranquility' but it has several hominyms with different kanji:

球威 きゅうい (n) (pitcher's) stuff; 'kiyuui'
旧衣 きゅうい (n) worn-out clothes 'kiyuui'
休意 きゅうい (n,vs) peace; tranquility; 'kiyuui'

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is a handy japanese<->english dictionary. It seems to work best with the 'exact word match' box checked.

'Heiwa' would be the translation in Japanese.

But, according to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location), peace translates to 'kyuui' and to other words. Online translators aren't accurate either.
