Kealani-Jade is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kealani-Jade blends Hawaiian Kealani - kea “white; clear, pure” + lani “sky, heaven; royalty” - with Jade, the English given name from the gemstone (via French jade < Spanish piedra de ijada). As a gem word, it entered European languages in the 16th century and is unisex as a name. Together it evokes “heavenly purity with a precious stone,” marrying celestial imagery with jade’s associations of protection and good fortune. As a compound, Kealani-Jade reflects late-20th/21st-century trends toward hyphenated, cross-cultural names. Kealani and its cousins (Keilani, Kalani) spread beyond Hawai‘i through diaspora and popular culture, while Jade entered mainstream use in the 1970s in the UK and US. Variants include Kealani Jade (unhyphenated), Keilani-Jade, Kea Lani-Jade, and Kealani-Jayde; diacritics may be added in strictly Hawaiian spelling. Short forms: Kea, Lani, KJ, or Jade.
