Keahaulani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keahaulani is a modern Hawaiian given name formed from native elements and most often treated as a spelling variant of Kehaulani. In this reading, kehau denotes “cool mist, dew,” a poetic image for the freshness of dawn, while lani means “heaven, sky; royal, exalted,” yielding the sense “heavenly dew” or “dew of the heavens.” Some speakers also parse it as hau + lani, “snow/ice of the heavens,” or hear an echo of kea “white, pure,” reinforcing imagery of cool purity. The name is generally unisex but more commonly bestowed on girls.

Documented in Hawaiian communities throughout the 20th century, Keahaulani and the more prevalent Kehaulani saw wider use during the Hawaiian cultural renaissance of the 1970s and in the diaspora. Related forms and nicknames include Kehaulani, Kehau, Hau, and Lani; comparable names in the same semantic family are Kealani (“the heavens”) and Mahealani (“heavenly brightness”).
