History & Origin

Mahlanni is a modern American coinage built on the -lani/-lanni sound of Leilani, Milani and Alani rather than on any documented root. We note its routes as uncertain rather than borrowing a heritage it does not have (said 'muh-LAH-nee').

It is very rare in the U.S. Melodic, invented, and soft.

Did you know? The -lani sound, borrowed loosely from Hawaiian naming, has become one of the most popular endings in American coinages — Mahlanni is a recent arrival in that family.
