Leilanii
Meaning of Leilanii
Leilanii is a feminine given name of Hawaiian origin, formed from lei (“flower garland”) and lani (“heaven,” “sky,” or “royal”), often interpreted as “heavenly flower.” Pronounced lay-LAH-nee (/leɪˈlɑni/), it invokes the gentle beauty of tropical blossoms against an open sky. In the United States, Leilanii first registered in 2010 with six newborns and a rank of 948, then fluctuated modestly in the low 900s before reaching 922nd place with 28 occurrences in 2024. This pattern underscores a consistent, understated appeal among parents seeking a distinctive yet accessible name. While it neither entitles the bearer to a lei nor a literal throne, Leilanii carries a dignified nod to its island heritage, blending natural imagery with a subtle elegance.
