Kehau-Lani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kehau-Lani is a Hawaiian compound name built from kehau ("dew; cool mist at dawn") and lani ("heaven, sky; by extension, royal, exalted"), the latter cognate with Proto-Polynesian *langi. Together they convey images such as "heavenly dew," "dew of the heavens," or "royal mist," a poetic evocation of purity, blessing, and the gentle coolness that follows night on the islands.

As a given name it follows a long Hawaiian tradition of pairing nature terms with references to the sacred or high-born. Forms vary with modern orthographic habits: Kehaulani (unhyphenated) is common, as are Kehau-Lani and Kehau Lani. Short forms include Kehau and Lani. Usage today is mostly feminine in English-speaking settings, though the elements themselves are not gendered in Hawaiian. The name saw growing visibility during the late 20th-century Hawaiian cultural renaissance and remains appreciated in Hawai'i and the broader diaspora.
