Lei-Lehua is Hawaiian in Origin.
From Hawaiian, Lei-Lehua combines lei (“garland, wreath; a cherished person”) with lehua, the fiery red blossom of the ʻōhiʻa tree linked to the goddess Pele and to Hawaiʻi Island. Literally “lehua garland,” the name evokes beauty, celebration, and steadfast love; in poetry and song, both lei and lehua are metaphors for a beloved and for the bonds that unite a community.
Used as a given name in Hawaiʻi since at least the late 19th century, it reflects the tradition of drawing names from native flora and emblematic imagery. After mid-20th‑century decline under Anglicizing pressures, it gained fresh visibility during the Hawaiian Renaissance. Predominantly feminine today but traditionally unisex. Variants include Lei Lehua, Leilehua (fused), and Lei or Lehua as short forms; related yet distinct is Leilani. Common English pronunciation: lay-lay-HOO-ah.
We have no record of Lei-Lehua in any national birth registry or name dataset. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
