Kalany is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kalany is a modern respelling of the Hawaiian name Kalani, used for all genders. Built from the article ka ("the") and lani ("sky, heavens; royal, exalted"), it conveys "the heavens," "heavenly," or "royal one." In Hawaiian culture, lani long signified divine or chiefly rank and appears in many alii and monarchic names, giving Kalany an aura of nobility and reverence.

As a contemporary form, Kalany surfaces mainly in the United States and Pacific communities from the late 20th century onward, paralleling the wider embrace of Polynesian names. Variant spellings and close relatives include Kalani, Kalanie, Kelani, Keilani, Kehlani, and Kaylani; related but distinct are Kailani ("sea and sky") and Leilani ("heavenly lei"). Common nicknames are Lani and Kali. The y-ending lends a modern twist while preserving the name’s serene, celestial heritage.
