History & Origin

Keilanni is a double-n spelling of Keilani, built on the Hawaiian lani, 'sky; heaven.' The doubled letter is an American flourish rather than a Hawaiian form, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'kay-LAH-nee').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, lifted, and modern in spelling.

Did you know? Doubling a consonant — as in Keilanni — is one of the commonest ways American families personalise a name. The Hawaiian root lani, 'sky,' still shines through, though the spelling is modern.
