Aliikai is Hawaiian in Origin.

Aliikai is a modern Hawaiian given name built from aliʻi (chief, noble, royalty) and kai (sea). In compound form it conveys images of rank and ocean, yielding readings such as "royal sea," "noble by the sea," or "chief of the sea." The elements are central in Hawaiian culture: aliʻi designates the hereditary nobility, while kai is a pervasive word in poetry and place names. As a personal name, Aliikai is typically feminine in English-language contexts but can be used for any gender.

Use as a given name is documented mainly from the late 20th century onward amid renewed interest in Hawaiian-language names; it remains rare and is not in the U.S. top 1000. Spelling variants reflect Hawaiian orthography and spacing: Aliʻikai, Aliʻi Kai, Alii-Kai, and Ali'ikai. Common short forms include Alii and Kai.
