Keokilani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Keokilani is a modern Hawaiian compound name combining Keoki - the Hawaiian adaptation of George (from Greek Georgios, “farmer; earth‑worker”) - with lani, meaning “heaven, sky,” and by extension “royal, exalted.” The overall sense is “heavenly George,” “royal Keoki,” or “exalted of the heavens.” Pronunciation typically follows Hawaiian vowel values: keh-OH-kee-LAH-nee.

Its formation reflects 19th‑century naming in the Hawaiian Kingdom, when Christian/English names were naturalized and often paired with native honorifics such as -lani. While rare, Keokilani appears in contemporary Hawai‘i as a first or middle name and is used for any gender; the -lani element can lend a feminine tilt in modern usage. Variants include Keōkilani (with macron), Keoki-lani, and Keoki Lani; related short forms are Keoki and Lani. Cognate connections point back to English George and Greek Georgios.
