Lelani is a softened spelling of the beloved Hawaiian name Leilani, which combines 'lei' (flower garland) and 'lani' (heaven or sky) to mean 'heavenly flower.' It's one of those names that sounds exactly as beautiful as its meaning, rolling off the tongue like a warm island breeze. For a female pet, Lelani suggests a gentle, graceful creature who brings a tropical warmth to whatever space she inhabits. The three open syllables make it melodic and easy to call.
