Aolanya is a modern, cross-cultural feminine given name whose etymology is likely syncretic. Many interpret it as a blend of Hawaiian Aolani (ao "cloud, day;" lani "heaven, royal") and the Slavic pet form Anya ("grace," from Hannah), yielding a poetic sense such as "heavenly grace" or "royal cloud of grace." Others hear an echo of Alanya, the Turkish Mediterranean city, giving it a subtle toponymic flavor. Because the name does not appear in older onomastic sources, its meaning is best viewed as an inspired combination rather than a single, fixed root.

Usage is rare but rising in contemporary English-language contexts, favored by parents seeking an airy, lyrical sound with broad resonance. Reported since the late 20th century in online birth announcements, it functions as a creative variant of Aolani, Alanya, and Anya. Possible spellings and related forms include Aolaniya, Aolania, Alanya, and Aolani; nicknames include Lani, Anya, Aya, and Ola.
