Origin and meaning of Leilani
Leilani is a Hawaiian name combining lei, 'flower' or 'garland', and lani, 'sky, heavenly, royal', giving 'heavenly flower' or 'royal child'. Popular in Hawaii and increasingly adopted across the mainland US, it appears regularly in SSA rankings, boosted in part by classic Hawaiian song culture. Parents are drawn to its exotic musicality and its poetic meaning tied to the sky and royalty.
