History & Origin
Talani is a recent American coinage without a documented traditional source: it joins the productive -lani family — from Hawaiian lani, 'sky, heavens, royal' — behind Leilani, Kalani, and Milani, fronted with the T-crisp opening of Talia and Tatum. A scattered Samoan and Tongan masculine usage exists separately.
The name registers faintly in recent U.S. records and remains very rare. Like its sisters, it offers maximal melody for minimal spelling difficulty.
