Makalee is a modern American invention, likely created as a phonetic blend of the Hebrew name Michaela and the English surname-name Lee. It may also be interpreted as a variant of the Hawaiian name Makali'i, referring to the Pleiades star cluster, though in a US context it is typically a creative combination.
