History & Origin

Laylany is a new American name that borrows the shape of Layla (Arabic layl, 'night') and the music of Leilani. We do not claim a Hawaiian or Arabic lineage for the compound itself: it is a coinage, and its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'lay-LAH-nee').

It appears only very rarely in U.S. records. Rare, flowing, and modern.
