Laylani

A gentle-sounding name with a pretty meaning to match, Laylani is a close cousin to names like Lily and Layla that have been very trendy in the last few years. We're somewhat agnostic about this spelling compared to original Leilani. Though we tend to favor the original in such cases, it might be easier for non-Hawaiians to figure out how to pronounce this one.

Laylani has made the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2020, but has no where close to the popularity of the original Leilani.

Pronounced lay-LAH-nee.

As of October 2026, Laylani ranked #769 in US births in 2025 SSA.
