Kauiolani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kauiolani is a Hawaiian name most often interpreted as “the beauty of heaven/sky.” It likely blends Kauʻi (from ka uʻi, “the beauty” or “the beautiful one”) with Lani (“heaven, sky; royal, exalted”), yielding a sense of “heavenly beauty” or “royal beauty.” Spelled with traditional diacritics, it may appear as Kauʻiolani or Kaʻuʻiolani, reflecting the glottal stop (ʻokina) in uʻi. Some also parse it as a full phrase-name meaning “the beauty of the heavens,” a pattern common in Native Hawaiian naming.

Names ending in -lani have long associations with status and the sacred in Hawaiʻi; compare related elements in Kaʻiulani (borne by Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani) and ʻIolani (“royal hawk”). Kauiolani is typically feminine but, like many Hawaiian names, can be used for any gender.
