Historical Context

Keilany appears to be a recent English-language spelling rather than a traditional Hawaiian name with a separately documented history. It is likely influenced by Keilani and Kailani. Kailani is formed from Hawaiian kai, meaning sea or ocean, and lani, meaning sky or heaven. Keilani is also recorded as a Hawaiian form, but the direct linguistic route from either name to Keilany has not been established. The final y is best understood as a modern spelling choice.
