Meaning & origin
Leiloni is a modern American coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1974. It reached its peak popularity in 2007, and has since been in a gradual decline. The name seems to draw inspiration from the well-known Hawaiian name Leilani, which means 'heavenly flower,' but with a modified ending that gives it a fresher feel. While Leiloni is still in use, its trajectory shows it has been falling since 2006. In 2025, it ranked 8860 with approximately 1 in every 146,115 baby girls receiving the name. This name has not been strongly associated with any particular state or region. Its style fits with other melodic, vowel-ending names popular in the early 2000s.
