The flower wreath; the sea and the sky
Kaileia is a modern coinage often used as a variation of the Hawaiian name Kaileia or a combination of Kai and Leia. In a Hawaiian context, it can be interpreted as 'the lei' or 'the flower wreath,' while the elements 'Kai' (sea) and 'Leia' (child of heaven) suggest a connection to nature and the divine.
