Keikilaniokalani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keikilaniokalani is a Hawaiian compound from keiki “child,” lani “heaven, sky; exalted, royal,” and the linker o ka lani “of the heavens.” It conveys “heavenly child of the heavens,” or more idiomatically “exalted child of the sky,” with lani also evoking chiefly dignity (ali‘i). Such layered names reflect Hawaiian onomastics, where imagery of sky, chiefs, and the divine interweave.

Documented in 19th‑century Hawaiian-language newspapers and church records in forms with spaces or hyphens, the name aligns with long ali‘i-style compounds and has seen renewed use since the Hawaiian Renaissance. It is traditionally unisex, though contemporary usage may lean feminine. Short forms and cognate variants include Keikilani, Keiki, Lani, and Kalani; orthographic variants appear as Keiki-lani-o-ka-lani or Keiki lani o ka lani, with optional diacritics (e.g., Keiki Lani o ka Lani). Nicknames like Kei or Lani are common. Outside Hawaiʻi the name remains rare, valued for its cultural depth.
