Ailany Origin and Meaning
Fun, bright, and melodic, Ailany is a modern Hispanic name, with multicultural influences. It broke into the US top 1000 for the first time in 2023 and, then in 2024, it had an incredible journey up the charts. Eight times more popular than it was the previous year, it leapt 754 places up the chats, and was given to nearly 2600 babies.
A variation of Ailani, or perhaps Alani, it could be considered a Hispanic name with Hawaiian influence, giving it the meanings "high chief" or "orange tree". Alternatively, it may be a form of Ailyn or Aylín, Spanish forms of either Irish Aileen or Turkish Aylin, associating it with light and the moon.
Alternative spelling Ailani also climbed 267 places in 2024, while Aylani was a new entry. Together, they were given to 4081 babies, and taking this combined popularity into account, Ailany and co. ranked alongside Hannah, Delilah, and Maya around the Top 50 mark in 2024.
