The heavens or the sky
Kilani is a modern Hawaiian name derived from the elements 'lani', meaning sky, heaven, or royal, and the prefix 'ki-'. It reflects a spiritual connection to the celestial realm and is often chosen for its melodic, airy sound. While rare on the US mainland, it follows the popular trend of names ending in the 'lani' suffix.
