Kalaney is English in Origin.

Kalaney is a modern American given name, most likely fashioned from Hawaiian Kalani and the English pet form Lainey/Laney. In Hawaiian, Kalani means “the heavens, the exalted, royal one,” while Lainey traces to Elaine (from Greek Helene) meaning “light” or “torch.” As a contemporary blend or respelling, Kalaney is not a traditional Hawaiian form, but it inherits associations of skyward majesty and brightness; many parents interpret it loosely as “heavenly light” or “exalted one.”

Usage emerges in the early 2000s and remains uncommon, rising with the vogue for Hawaiian-influenced names and the visibility of Kehlani and Kaylani. It is used chiefly for girls in the United States, though Kalani is unisex in Hawaiian tradition. Related spellings and near-variants include Kalani, Kailani, Kaylani, Kehlani, and Kalanie; nicknames range from Kala and Lani to Laney and Kay.
