Daylani is a modern American blend that joins Day- with the Hawaiian ending -lani, which means "heaven" or "sky" and is familiar from Leilani and Kehlani. The name has no Hawaiian history of its own but shares the breezy island sound that has spread through American naming since the 2010s. In the United States Daylani had fewer than five births in 2000, ranked number 8115 in 2015 and reached number 2023 in 2025, its best rank so far.
