Ewalani is Hawaiian in Origin.
Ewalani is a Hawaiian given name built from Ewa (a Hawaiian rendering of Eva/Eve) and lani, “sky, heaven; royal, exalted.” The compound is widely interpreted as “heavenly woman,” “royal from the heavens,” or “heavenly Eva,” reflecting both biblical influence and the native honorific lani used in high-ranking names.
Documented in the Islands from the late 19th century onward, Ewalani fits a broader pattern of Hawaiian–Christian blends that became common during the Kingdom and Territorial periods. It remains uncommon outside Hawai‘i but is recognized within the Hawaiian diaspora. Diminutives include Lani and Ewa. Related or sometimes confused forms are Iwalani (a different name from ‘iwa, the frigatebird, + lani), as well as other lani-compounds like Noelani and Kealani. In English contexts, parents may view Ewalani as a cultural counterpart to Eva or Evelyn. Variants occasionally appear as Evalani.
Nothing for Ewalani shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
