Jahlani is a modern American coinage built on the pattern of Kehlani and Leilani, with the Jah- opening also found in Jaliyah and Jahzara; it carries no traditional meaning, although the Hawaiian lani element in the names it imitates means "heaven" or "sky". The name first appeared in 2016 at number 17299 and has climbed since, reaching number 2944 in 2025, its best rank to date.
