Kaleialii is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kaleialii is a Hawaiian given name composed of kalei (“the lei; adornment, beloved”) and aliʻi (“chief; nobility”). The compound conveys “the chiefs’ lei,” “royal adornment,” or by extension “beloved of the chiefs/royal beloved,” evoking prestige and cherished status. It is typically written with the ʻokina as Kaleialiʻi or separated as Kalei Aliʻi in careful orthography; the spelling without diacritics (Kaleialii) is a common anglicized form. Pronunciation: kah-LEH-ee ah-LEE-ee.

Used for all genders, with Kalei often feminine and Kealiʻi masculine; Kaleialii sits in the middle. While aliʻi titles belong to the traditional Hawaiian social order, personal-name use emerged and broadened in the late 19th–20th centuries and saw renewed favor during the Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance. The name remains uncommon compared with Kalei or Kealiʻi, appearing mostly in Hawaiʻi and the Hawaiian diaspora. Variants and related forms include Kalei, Kealiʻi, Aliʻi, Kaleialiʻi, Kalei Aliʻi, and the diacritic-free Kaleialii.
