Lanee Origin and Meaning

The name Lanee is a girl's name.

Lanee is a contemporary feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Lani, which has Hawaiian roots meaning 'heaven' or 'sky.' Alternatively, it could be a modern variation of names like Elaine or Alana, or a creative spelling of Laney (itself often a diminutive of Elaine or Delaney). The name has a light, melodic quality with its soft sounds and simple structure. While not traditionally common in historical records, Lanee has gained some usage in recent decades as parents seek distinctive yet approachable names. Its brevity and ending with double 'ee' gives it a contemporary feel that fits with modern naming trends.
