Lanai

Lanai is a feminine name embodying reflection and a sense of place. Hawaiian in origin, Lanai is largely attributed to lānai, which represents a "veranda" or "balcony." And while the meaning may not appear deeply profound, in Hawaiian culture, Lanai is associated with kicking back and embracing life. So often used at the beginning or end of the day, lānai is the space for true relaxation where one can feel at peace in their world. Lanai may also stem from the Hawaiian word lanai, meaning "stiff-backed," or lānaʻi, meaning "day conquest." Lanai may also be a Chinese name interpreted as "orchid love," adding a lush floral touch. Lanai is the name of the sixth largest Hawaiian island. For your child, Lanai can remind them always of the power of gratitude and the merit of staying in the moment.
