Leilany is a female first name.

Leilany is a well-known but special name!

Leilany is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,009 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,008 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Leilany.

What does the name 
Leilany mean?

The spelling variant Leilany is an American invention and based on the Hawaiian name Leilani. This name has two different meanings: ‘heavenly flowers’ and ‘royal child’. It is composed of the words ‘lei’ and ‘lani’ that mean ‘flower, child’ and ‘heaven, sky, royal, majesty’, respectively

The name Leilani was... popularized in the US by the 1937 song 'Sweet Leilani', one of the year's biggest hits.

Leilany -
keeping with the times

Leilany is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Leilany cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #640 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Leilany, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Leilany seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Leilany was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

special, but at home in many states

(To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Leilany living in one state or another. If your name is Leilany and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones.
