[Facts] Re: First name OKALANI
A little research on the same site reveals that O means "of" and KA is the definite article "the." As in any language, the use of articles is idiomatic--we don't say "the heaven" in English, but this is usual in Hawaiian. So O KA LANI would apparently mean "of (the) heaven."
