Ka-Lei-Wohi is Hawaiian in Origin.

Ka-Lei-Wohi is a modern, Polynesian-leaning coinage whose structure suggests Hawaiian influence. Ka is the Hawaiian definite article "the," and lei is the well-known Hawaiian garland or wreath symbolizing welcome, affection, and honor. The final element Wohi has no widely attested dictionary meaning in Hawaiian and is likely selected for its pleasing sound, family significance, or to create a distinctive cadence; together, the name evokes "the lei," with an added personal flourish.

Usage appears contemporary and rare, aligning with the recent rise of hyphenated, compound given names. Parents drawn to Hawaiian culture or island imagery may favor it as a gender-neutral option. Variants and spellings include Kaleiwohi, Ka-Leiwohi, Kalei-Wohi, Ka Lei Wohi, and Ka'Leiwohi; nicknames often shorten to Lei or Kalei. Because diacritics can shift pronunciation in Polynesian languages, some stylize it differently for emphasis, though such spellings do not imply a specific traditional meaning.
