Kamani is a name of several possible sources: it is the Hawaiian name of a tropical hardwood tree, so it can mean "the kamani tree", and it is also used as a modern American blend in the style of Kehlani, Kalani and Imani. Most parents choose it for its melodic sound rather than a single meaning. For girls Kamani has climbed from number 5397 in 2000 to number 2134 in 2025, its highest rank to date.
