Malana

A lively name for your bouncing baby girl, Malana is a culturally rich choice. The title is Hawaiian in origin and means “buoyant” and “light.” With such a cheerful name, there’s no doubt that this bundle of joy will radiate happiness. In juxtaposition to its brightness, Malana also embraces your kiddo's shadow side as a Ukrainian name for girls of Greek origin. Stemming from the root mélas and a variant of Melanie, Malana also means "blackness" or "darkness." Even on those long nights when you’re waiting for the dawn to break, baby Malana is sure to fill your heart with love.
