Lania

Meaning of Lania

Lania is a luminous and modern gem for a little girl, a name that somehow feels both fresh and timeless. Its roots lie in the Hawaiian word lani, meaning “heavenly” or “sky,” and it gently echoes the Gaelic Lana, “bright, shining one,” conjuring visions of open horizons and the promise of new beginnings. Pronounced LAN-yuh, Lania has been quietly climbing the US popularity charts over the past two decades, hovering around rank #930 to strike that perfect balance between distinctive and familiar. Like a ribbon of dawn light unfurling across the morning sky, Lania carries an irresistible, playful charm—one that almost beckons a joyful twirl under wide-open skies, inviting families to imagine all the adventures that await.
