Leylani Origin and Meaning
The name Leylani is a girl's name meaning "heavenly flower".
With the melodic Leilani in the US Top 100, and gaining traction across the pond in the UK too, alternative spellings have naturally come into use. Leilany and Laylani are currently the more popular variations, with both ranking in the Top 1000 and each given to around 300 babies in a recent year. Leylani currently lags slightly behind, but is nevertheless becoming increasingly familiar, particularly among Spanish speakers.
Dancer, model and TV host Leylani Leyton rose to fame in 2023 when she was crowned Miss International Nicaragua and her subsequent social media popularity may draw more people's attention to this spelling in coming years.
