Leylanee as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Leylanee

What is the meaning of the name Leylanee ?

The baby name Leylanee is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced LAY-lah-nee (IPA: /leɪˈlɑːni/).

Leylanee is Hawaiian in Origin.

Leylanee is a modern American elaboration of the Hawaiian name Leilani, from lei “garland, wreath (often of flowers)” + lani “heaven, sky; royal.” Its sense is “heavenly garland,” commonly interpreted as “heavenly flowers” or “royal child of heaven.” The spelling with y and the -ee ending preserves the lilting sound of Leilani while giving it a contemporary, ornamental look.

Leilani entered broader English use after the 1937 hit “Sweet Leilani,” and it has surged again in the 21st century; Leylanee appears chiefly in recent U.S. records as a creative respelling dating from the early 2000s. Close variants include Leilani, Leylani, Leilanie, Leilanee, Laylani, and Lailani; short forms include Lei and Lani. Though sometimes influenced by the name Leila/Layla in spelling, that name has separate Arabic roots (“night”). Leylanee thus remains a Hawaiian-inspired choice with modern flair.
