Beautiful; pure; or a variant of the flower name
Kaleiya is a modern American coinage, likely blending the Hawaiian name Kalea, meaning 'joy' or 'happiness', with the Greek-derived name Kaia, meaning 'pure'. It is often associated with the phonetic beauty of names like Malia or Kehlani, reflecting a contemporary interest in soft, vowel-heavy sounds.
