Sky, heaven, or royal
Lani is a traditional Hawaiian name that translates to 'sky' or 'heaven.' In the Hawaiian language, it can also denote 'royal' or 'majesty,' as the sky was often associated with high-ranking chiefs and divinity. It is frequently used as a suffix in longer Hawaiian names like Keilani or Noelani.
