Kaelanie (often pronounced KAY-lah-nee) is a modern American coinage shaped by Hawaiian-influenced naming. It is closely related to Kalani, Kailani, and contemporary forms like Kehlani and Kaylani, all built on the Hawaiian element lani, meaning "heaven, sky; royal." The inserted vowels and final -ie reflect English stylistic patterns and echoes of names such as Kaelyn and Lanie, creating a melodic form while retaining a celestial sense of "heavenly" or "exalted."

Use emerges in the United States from the late 20th century onward, with Kaelanie remaining rare and generally outside national top-1000 charts. Although inspired by Hawaiian elements, it is not a traditional Hawaiian form.
