Lehua Lei is Hawaiian in Origin.

Lehua Lei is a Hawaiian compound given name formed from lēhua, the scarlet blossom of the ‘ōhi‘a tree, and lei, “garland” or “wreath.” Together it evokes “a lei of lehua blossoms,” a potent symbol of love, welcome, and island identity. In Hawaiian mo‘olelo, the lehua is bound to the volcano goddess Pele and to rains that follow when the flower is plucked, adding layers of romance and nature’s power to the name.

Used mostly for girls but essentially unisex in Hawaiian tradition, Lehua Lei appears in 20th‑century records and gained renewed visibility during the late‑20th‑century Hawaiian cultural renaissance, when nature‑based names saw revival across the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Lēhua Lei (with macron), Lehua-Lei, and the simpler Lehua or Lei; related names include Leilani (“heavenly lei”), Leialoha (“beloved lei”), and Leimomi (“pearl lei”). Nicknames such as Lehua or Lei occur naturally. Pronunciation: leh-HOO-ah lay.
