The heavens or the sky
Halani is a modern Hawaiian name derived from the elements 'ha', meaning breath or life, and 'lani', meaning heaven, sky, or royal. It is often interpreted as the breath of heaven or simply referring to the celestial realm. While less common than the singular Lani, it follows the rhythmic and vowel-heavy patterns typical of Polynesian nomenclature.
About 47 girls were named Halani in 2025.
