Lulani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Lulani is a Hawaiian given name built on lani, “heaven, sky; royal, exalted.” It is commonly glossed as “heavenly heights” or “exalted sky.” The name is sometimes linked to the older Ululani (ulu “to grow, inspire” + lani), yielding the sense “heavenly inspiration.” Altogether, it evokes elevation, serenity, and noble grace.

While Ululani appears in 18th and 19th century records for alii (chiefly) families, the streamlined Lulani is rarer and has seen modern use alongside better-known -lani names such as Leilani, Keilani, and Kailani, especially since the mid-20th century. Variants and related forms include Ululani, Lani, Leilani, Keilani, Kailani, and the anglicized spellings Lulanie/Lulanee; all are often written without Hawaiian diacritics in English contexts. Usable for any gender in Hawaiian tradition, Lulani today is most often chosen for girls.
