In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Jaylani is a modern American name that joins the popular sound Jay-, as in Jayden, to the Hawaiian ending -lani, as in Leilani. It is not a Hawaiian word and has no dictionary entry. The second part is sourced: Pukui and Elbert's Hawaiian Dictionary gives lani as the sky or heavens, heavenly or spiritual, and also a very high chief or royal person, a sense the dictionary says is common in personal names. That is why name lists give "heavenly". The Jay- part has no fixed meaning. It is said jay-LAH-nee.
