What is the meaning of the name Keaunuilani ?

The baby name Keaunuilani is a Female name , 6 syllables long and is pronounced keh-AH-oo-NOO-ee-LAH-nee.

Keaunuilani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keaunuilani is a modern Hawaiian compound drawing on classical lexicon. It combines ke ‘au ("the current, flow; the era/age"), nui ("great, abundant"), and lani ("sky, heaven; royal, exalted"), yielding readings such as "the great heavenly current," "the exalted great age," or "majestic flow of the heavens." Because lani connotes sacredness and chiefly rank, the name can also suggest noble status under the heavens.

Documented mostly from the late 20th century onward - amid renewed interest in traditional naming - it remains rare and is used for all genders in Hawai‘i and the diaspora. Orthographic variants reflect the presence or omission of diacritics: Ke‘aunuilani (with ‘okina), Keaunuilani (anglicized), and occasionally Ke Aunuilani or Ke-au-nui-lani in pedagogical spelling. Related elements appear in names like Keaulani and Kaiulani, and informal short forms such as Kea or Lani are sometimes used.
