Nolani is a modern given name with dual influences. In Hawaiian, lani means "heaven, sky; royal," and Nolani is often treated as a streamlined variant of Noelani ("heavenly mist") or as parallel to Nalani ("the heavens"). In an Irish-English frame, Nolani can be viewed as a feminized elaboration of the surname Nolan (from Ó Nualláin), whose root conveys "famous" or "noble champion." Together, the name carries airy, celestial overtones with a hint of Irish strength.

It remains uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a melodic, pan-cultural choice. Common short forms include Nola, Lani, and Noli. Close variants and cognates include Noelani and Nalani; related male form Nolan. Meanings are typically interpreted as "heavenly" or "royal sky," with an alternative reading tied to Nolan’s "famous, noble" heritage.
