Na-Pua-Lani is Hawaiian in Origin.
Na-Pua-Lani is a modern, stylized given name from the Hawaiian language phrase Nā Pua Lani. Nā is the plural definite article “the,” pua means “flower” and by extension “child, descendant,” and lani denotes “heaven, sky” and, honorifically, “royal, sacred.” Together it conveys “the heavenly flowers,” “royal blossoms,” or “children of heaven,” evoking beauty, lineage, and spiritual elevation.
Names formed from poetic phrases are common in Hawaiian tradition, and this form appears in English-language records with hyphens and without diacritics. Usage rose in the mid- to late 20th century alongside the Hawaiian cultural renaissance, most often for girls but usable for any gender. Variant spellings include Nā Pua Lani (with kahakō), Na Pua Lani, Napua Lani, Napualani, and Na-Pualani; related forms are Pualani and Napua. Common short forms are Pua and Lani.
