High chief
Ailani is a Hawaiian name traditionally meaning high chief or leader. It combines the elements 'ali'i' (chief) and 'lani' (sky or heavenly), suggesting a leader of high or celestial status. In recent years, it has gained significant popularity in the United States as part of the trend for melodic, vowel-heavy names.
