The heavens; the sky
Kelani is a name of Hawaiian origin, derived from the elements 'ke' (the) and 'lani' (heaven, sky, or royal). It carries a spiritual and celestial connotation in Hawaiian culture, often associated with nobility and the divine. While rare in the mainland United States, it follows the popular trend of melodic, vowel-heavy Pacific Islander names.
