Meaning today
Chief, high chief
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Ailany is a modern American name, a spelling of Ailani with a final -y. Name lists describe Ailani as Hawaiian for "chief" or "high chief", but we could not confirm that sense in a Hawaiian dictionary, and the name looks like a recent creation in the style of Hawaiian-sounding names such as Leilani and Kehlani rather than a traditional Hawaiian name. It has a bright, musical sound and island associations. For Indian parents it is easy to say, and its -ni ending echoes Indian girls' names such as Shalini or Mohini.
