What is the meaning of the name Keau-Lani ?

Keau-Lani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keau-Lani is a modern Hawaiian compound most likely built from ke au ("the current; the era, age") and lani ("heaven, sky; royal, exalted"), yielding readings such as "heavenly era," "royal age," or "current of heaven." The hyphen mirrors contemporary Hawaiian-influenced styling that keeps meaningful elements visible; traditional orthography could render the phrase as Ke au lani or the single-name Keaulani.

As a given name, it appears in late 20th-21st-century Hawaiian and diasporic communities, used for all genders but trending feminine because of the popularity of Lani-ending names. Variants and close relatives include Keaulani (unhyphenated), Keau Lani (spaced), and the sound-alike Kealani/Kea Lani ("white/clear heaven"), which some families treat as an alternate despite a different root. Short forms include Lani and Kea. Note that adding an okina (Ke'au-Lani) would alter pronunciation and potentially meaning.
