Kama-Lani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Rooted in Hawaiian, Kama-Lani joins kama ("child, descendant; native") with lani ("heaven, sky; royal, exalted"). The compound evokes several readings: "heavenly child," "child of heaven," or "royal-born child," since lani long signified divine or chiefly rank. As with many Hawaiian names, English usage often omits diacritics; the hyphen is stylistic rather than grammatical.

Used for any gender, Kama-Lani gained traction in 20th- and 21st-century Hawaii as a modern coinage built from traditional lexemes, appearing as both first and middle name and occasionally as a family name. Closest variant is Kamalani (most common), with spacing or hyphenation (Kama Lani, Kama-Lani) varying by household preference. Short forms include Kama and Lani. Related Hawaiian names with lani include Kalani, Leilani, and Kealani. Note: despite phonetic overlap, this kama is unrelated to Sanskrit kama ("desire").
