Dailani

Meaning of Dailani

Dailani dances onto the scene like a bright monsoon breeze—born of Hawaiian skies (“lani” meaning heaven) and sunshine (“day” in every cheerful syllable), she carries the salt-kissed warmth of Pacific waves straight into the heart. Picture her as a coconut-hulled canoe adrift between palm-fringed shores and the bustling spice markets of Mumbai, each utterance a playful swirl of mango lassi and ocean foam. In just a few short years, she’s leapt from a shy rank of 963 in 2016 to flirting with the top 900 in 2024 among U.S. newborns, growing in popularity as quickly as kites soar on Diwali night. Full of heavenly promise and a wink of island magic, Dailani invites every parent to imagine a life painted in coral sunsets and jasmine-scented laughter.
