From ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, this multi-element name combines ka “the/one who,” wohi (sometimes parsed in name-poetry as “distinction; select/choice”), kū “to stand; also the name of the god Kū,” kapu “sacred, set apart,” and lani “heaven; royal, exalted.” Depending on intended diacritics and emphasis, broad readings include “the honored, steadfast sacred heavens” or “the revered Kū of the sacred heavens,” evoking dignity, protection, and consecrated high status.

Documented chiefly as a contemporary coinage, it follows the tradition of long mele-style Hawaiian names used among aliʻi and revived in modern naming. Variants include Kawohikukapulani (closed form), Ka Wōhi Kū Kapulani (with diacritics), and shorter forms Kapulani, Lani, or Kū as everyday call-names. Unisex in use, it carries a ceremonial tone; consult fluent speakers to finalize macrons/ʻokina for the family’s intended meaning.
