Seilani is Hawaiian in Origin.

Seilani is a contemporary given name formed around the Hawaiian element lani, meaning “sky, heaven” and by extension “royal,” paired with the melodious Sei- opening popular in modern English-language naming. It is not attested in traditional Hawaiian lexicons and functions as a creative blend influenced by names like Leilani and Selena/Selene. As a result, Seilani is commonly interpreted as “heavenly” or “of the heavens,” with the Sei- portion chosen primarily for sound rather than a fixed semantic value.

Usage is rare but growing in the 21st century, paralleling the rise of -lani names in North America and beyond. Seilani is used chiefly for girls. Variant spellings and close forms include Sealani, Seilanie, Seilany, Selani, and Sailani; related names include Leilani, Kehlani, Nalani, Milani, Alani, and Ilani. Nicknames may include Sei and Lani, preserving the celestial nuance at the heart of the name.
