Alohilani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Alohilani is a Hawaiian given name formed from ʻalohi (“to sparkle, shine, glitter; bright, radiant”) and lani (“sky, heavens; exalted, royal”). It conveys images of “heavenly brightness,” “radiant sky,” or “royal light.” Because many Hawaiian names describe qualities or natural phenomena rather than gender, Alohilani is inherently unisex, though it is more often given to girls in contemporary usage.

The lani element appears in many chiefly and noble names in Hawaiian history, lending Alohilani an elevated tone. The name has seen broader use since the late-20th-century Hawaiian language and cultural revitalization and is now recognized well beyond the islands. Orthographic variants include ʻAlohilani (with the ʻokina) and Alohi-lani; the Anglicized Alohilani omits diacritics. Short forms and related choices include Alohi and Lani, as well as extended compounds like Keʻalohilani (“the heavenly brightness”). Related but distinct: Aolani (“daylight/cloud of heaven”).
