For baby girls in Hawaii, names may reflect flowers, heavenly elements, or virtues treasured by island communities. Kealohilani (“the heavenly brightness”) or Leilani (“heavenly flowers”) evoke delicate yet powerful imagery. Families passing down these melodic names preserve centuries of island heritage, bridging old traditions with modern generational pride.
