Etymology

Alani is used today as a girl's name and a helpful way to remember it is that in Hawaiian alani means 'orange' or 'orange tree', so the name often feels bright and warm. It is also sometimes seen as a feminine form of the names Alan or Alana, which is why people choose it for its sound as well.
