Kamaili is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kamaili is a Hawaiian given name with roots in several closely related forms. As Kamaʻili or Kāmaʻili, it is a recognized place name on Hawaiʻi Island; analyzed as kama “child, descendant” + ʻili “land division; surface/skin,” it evokes senses such as “child of the land” or “of the ʻili (land strip).” In contemporary use the diacritic-free Kamaili is also associated with Kamaile (“the maile vine,” from ka + maile) and with Kamaliʻi (“little child”), so the name carries layered meanings of kinship, smallness/cherishing, and the fragrant maile used for lei.

As a given name, Kamaili is rare but attested from the late 20th century onward, especially in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific diaspora, and is used for all genders. Variants and related forms include Kāmaʻili, Kamaʻili, Kamaile, Kamaliʻi/Kamalii, and Kamalei; the standardized English spelling is Kamaili.
