Kama’lani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kama'lani is a modern rendering of the Hawaiian compound Kamalani or Kamaʻlani, from kama “child, person; beloved one” + lani “heaven, sky; royal, exalted.” It therefore means “heavenly child,” “child of the heavens,” or “royal child.” The apostrophe often stands in for the okina (ʻ), a glottal stop in Hawaiian; customary spellings are Kamalani and Kamaʻlani, and some use the hyphenated Kama-lani. Common short forms include Kama and Lani.

As a given name, it is unisex in Hawaiian usage and appears frequently as a middle name, honoring ancestry or conveying a blessing of high status and protection. Use broadened during the late-20th-century Hawaiian cultural renaissance and continues among the Hawaiian diaspora, with occasional adoption elsewhere for its serene, spiritual tone. Related Hawaiian names built on lani include Kailani, Kealani, and Mililani.
