Ancient root and name story

Origin: modern English usage. Meaning: uncertain. Kehlani is recorded as a variant of the names Kailani or Kalani, and this particular spelling was popularized by the American singer Kehlani Parrish, born in 1995.

The Hawaiian routes behind the related names are only conditional. Kailani can be read as kai "sea" plus lani "sky, heaven, royal," while Kalani connects lani "heaven, sky, royal" with ka "the." These belong to the upstream forms, not to the exact spelling Kehlani.

For that reason Kehlani should not be presented as certainly meaning "sea and sky" or as an ancient Hawaiian first-bearer name. It is best understood as a recent, popularized spelling whose Hawaiian associations remain indirect.
