Leilany is Hawaiian in Origin.

Leilany is a modern spelling of the Hawaiian name Leilani, built from lei ("garland, wreath of flowers") and lani ("heaven, sky; royal"). It conveys poetic senses such as "heavenly lei," "royal garland," or by extension "heavenly/royal child," reflecting the cultural significance of the flower lei and the sacred connotations of lani in Hawaiian.

While Leilani has long been used in Hawaiʻi, it entered wider U.S. consciousness in the late 1930s, helped by the hit song "Sweet Leilani," and surged again in the 2000s. Leilany emerged in the 21st century as an alternative orthography, common in multilingual communities, especially those influenced by Spanish, where a final -y neatly signals the "ee" sound. Variants and cousins include Leilani (standard), Leylani, Lailani, Leilanie, and Leilanni; common nicknames are Lei and Lani.
