History & Origin

Meilany is a modern coinage. Some families hear Melany in it; others hear Leilani. We do not claim it inherits the meaning of either — the routes are uncertain (said 'may-LAH-nee').

It is newly emerging and very rare for girls in the U.S. Invented, flowing, and soft.

Did you know? Meilany catches two currents at once: the long-loved Melanie family and the -lani ending American parents borrowed from Leilani. It is an invention, so its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'may-LAH-nee').
