Solani is a modern American coinage that pairs Sol, the Spanish and Latin word for "sun", with the Hawaiian-sounding ending -ani familiar from Leilani and Kehlani, so it is usually read as "of the sun". It has no established history and belongs with Solana and Soleil among the sunny names of the 2020s. Solani first appeared in US records in 2018 and has risen quickly, from number 5363 in 2023 to number 2512 in 2025, its best rank so far.
