Baby Leilani will expect the red carpet treatment, and for good reason. This Hawaiian girl's name means "royal child of heaven" and "heavenly lei." It comes from the words lei, meaning "flowers," and lani, meaning "of the sky or heavens." In Hawaiian culture, a lei is a floral garland and is a symbol of love, friendship, peace, or honor. Traditionally, leis were used by Native Hawaiians to signify their ranks and royalty. This name will let you embrace your culture while you let baby know how important she is to you.
