Kauiulani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kauiulani is a Hawaiian feminine name closely tied to the canonical form Kaʻiulani. In proper orthography, Kaʻiulani combines ka “the,” ʻiu “lofty, supreme,” and lani “heaven; royal,” yielding “the most exalted one of heaven” or “royal exaltation.” When spelled Kauʻiulani, some families parse it as ka + uʻi “youthful beauty” + lani, giving “heavenly beauty” or “the beautiful one of heaven.” Both reflect traditional Hawaiian word-building and the dual sense of lani as sky and high rank.

The name gained international visibility through Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani (1875–1899), heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom, making it a symbol of dignity and cultural pride. Usage persisted in Hawaiʻi and revived during the late‑20th‑century Hawaiian Renaissance. Variants include Kaʻiulani (standard), Kaiulani (without diacritics), Kauʻiulani/Kauiulani (less common), and the anglicized Kaiʻulani/Kai'ulani with ASCII apostrophes. Short forms include Kai, Kaui, and Lani.
