Leiana Origin and Meaning

The name Leiana is a girl's name.

Leiana is a beautiful feminine name with possible Hawaiian origins, though it may also be a modern creation combining the popular prefix "Lei-" with the suffix "-ana." In Hawaiian contexts, "lei" refers to a garland of flowers, suggesting beauty and celebration. The name has a flowing, melodic quality with its sequence of vowels, making it appealing to parents seeking something both exotic and pleasant-sounding. While not among the most common names, Leiana has gained some popularity in recent decades as interest in Hawaiian and Polynesian names has increased. Its tropical associations and graceful sound give it a distinctive character while remaining relatively straightforward to pronounce.
