Kahealani Origin and Meaning

The name Kahealani is a girl's name meaning "call to the heavens, greeting the sky".

Kahealani is a powerful and pretty Hawaiian name that combines two Hawaiian words, kahea, meaning to "summon, call, or invoke", and lani, meaning "heaven or sky".

This divine name is the title of a popular and oft-covered children's song, written by Alice Fredlund and first performed by her 50s musical trio, The Halekulani Girls. A more recent namesake is Kahealani Papke, a Polynesian pro-surfer and model.

Used as a first name since the 70s, Kahealani was given to 18 girls in 2023 — one of its highest ranking years.
