History & Origin

Muhlani is a recent U.S. coinage on the -lani pattern. That ending comes from Hawaiian lani, 'sky; heaven; royal', a word carried into English-language naming through Leilani and its cousins. The opening syllable has no settled source; routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'moo-LAH-nee').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Very rare, airy, and modern.
