Leialoha is Hawaiian in Origin.

Leialoha is a Hawaiian given name (lay-ah-LOH-hah) formed from lei, the flower garland or wreath offered in welcome and honor, and aloha, “love,” “affection,” and “peace.” Together they evoke “lei of love,” “beloved one,” or “darling garland,” a poetic image for a cherished person. While commonly bestowed on girls, it is traditionally unisex within Hawaiian naming practices.

The name appears in 19th‑century Hawaiian Kingdom records and remains in use in Hawai‘i and the diaspora, sometimes written as Lei Aloha or Lei-aloha; it also occurs as a family name (for example, comic artist Steven Leialoha). Related or thematic names include Leilani (“heavenly lei”), Kealoha (“the love”), and Alohalani (“heavenly love”). Informal short forms are Lei, Leia, and Aloha. Hawaiian orthography generally writes Leialoha without diacritics, as neither lei nor aloha takes a kahakō in standard spelling.
