Noble, of the sky, or from the alder grove
Delahni is a modern American invention, likely a phonetic variation of Delaney or influenced by the Hawaiian name Leilani. As a variant of Delaney, it stems from the Irish surname Ó Dubhshláine, meaning 'descendant of the dark challenger.' Alternatively, its components suggest a blend of 'noble' and 'heavenly' sounds popular in contemporary naming.
