Kamalei

Meaning of Kamalei

Kamalei is a Hawaiian unisex name that sparkles with island charm. Pronounced kah-mah-LAY (/kɑːmɑːˈleɪ/), it means “child of lei” or “beloved child,” calling to mind plumeria-studded garlands and warm, playful breezes. The name first danced into Hawaii’s top 50 in the late 1990s and has kept popping up ever since, a sweet surprise at luaus and hospital doors alike. Parents imagine their little Kamalei blossoming like a fresh flower under the sun, giggling before they even learn to walk. With a dash of Latin flair—just like a brisa llena de alegría—it feels both exotic and down-to-earth. Kamalei is an inspirational choice that wraps a child in sunshine, celebration, and pura vida from day one.
