Keiani is Hawaiian in Origin.
Keiani is a modern Hawaiian-influenced given name, pronounced keh-ee-AH-nee or kay-AH-nee. Likely an elaboration of Keani/Kiani and akin to Keiana/Kiana, it has seen most use in the United States and Pacific communities since the late 20th century, and while unisex it leans feminine. Not a traditional lexeme in older Hawaiian records, the form surfaces in recent registries and media, reflecting a taste for melodic, nature-leaning names.
Most link it to Hawaiian Keani, from ke "the" + ani "to wave, beckon; gentle breeze," yielding senses like "the breeze," "soft murmur," or "graceful motion." The -i/-ani extension is stylistic, so Keiani keeps the same airy imagery. Variants include Keani, Ke'ani, Keiana, and Kiani; related forms are Kiana (the Hawaiian form of Diana) and Keanu. Overall meaning: a name evoking a gentle breeze, subtle sound, and fluid grace.
