Keilaina is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keilaina is a modern, melodious feminine given name, most common in North America, that likely arose as an elaboration of Keilani/Keilana and as a blend with Alaina/Laina. Its syllables echo Hawaiian-influenced naming patterns, though the form itself is not traditional in Hawaiian; instead, it reflects contemporary creativity with familiar pieces and soft vowel-forward cadence. Use is rare but noted in the early 21st century, appealing to parents seeking an ethereal yet approachable sound.

Variants and close relatives include Keilana, Keilani, Kailana, Kailani, Keilayna, Keylaina, and Kaylaina; related names are Alaina, Elena, and Leilani. Because Keilaina is a composite, it has no single canonical etymology. Many interpret it through association with lani “heaven, sky; royal” in Hawaiian (via Keilani) and with the Greek-rooted Alaina/Elena from Helene “torch, light.” As such, Keilaina is often read poetically as “heavenly light” or “royal light.”
