Comments for the name Leilani

Another Hawaiian translation is 'Heavenly Child'.

This is probably the most popular and well known Hawaiian name.

I personally love this name. I've used it for several of my characters.

A variant of Leilani is Leilana. I saw it spelled that way in a book called Island of the Innocent by Lynn & Gilbert Morris.

Pronounced lay-LAH-nee.

I love this name! A possible nickname could be Lani. Leilani sounds very Hawiian.

I think Leilani is a very pretty name. Just the thought of "heavenly flowers" makes you think this name is beautiful. I think a good nickname would be Lei or Lani.

I first discovered this name because I saw it as the name of a street on a street-sign. I thought it was a beautiful name, but I didn't think it was real. But now I know it is. It's pretty.

If I have twin girls I might name them Laelia and Leilani. How cute is that! (Pronounced lay-LEE-ah and lay-LAH-nee).

A somewhat famous bearer is the young Leilani Guiterrez. After being severely injured when a federal employee ran a red light on Mother's Day, she managed to stay cheerful even in times of hardship. She and her mother have appeared in commercials supporting stem cell research.

Probably best known from the song "Sweet Leilani."

I love this name. I also like other variations like Leilana and Leiliana.

This name is exceedingly beautiful in sound and meaning - it makes me think of a bough of creamy frangipani blossoms.

I knew a girl in elementary school that had the same name. Never came across another girl with a name like that again. It's a very beautiful name and it's unique too.
