Meaning and background
The story behind Lani
Lani has a well-established Hawaiian-language basis. The Hawaiian word lani can refer to the sky or heavens and also carries senses connected with majesty and high rank. Those are related meanings within Hawaiian, not interchangeable fanciful translations. Its open vowels are simple to say, but the original two-syllable Hawaiian pronunciation should be distinguished from whatever pronunciation a particular dog owner chooses.
