Lani is also used as a masculine name in Hawaiian. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine". Some evidence for this is that Lani is also used as a name element in unisex and masculine Hawaiian names such as Hōkūlani, Kailani, Kalani, Kamalani, Leilani, Nālani, Noelani, Pualani, Uʻilani, etc.

Lani is not pronounced 'Lar-nee'! Maybe in Australia. I pronounce it 'Lahn-ee'.
It really is a lovely name though. :)

LAY-nee is a different name that you could spell Lani but that is way more often spelled Lainey. It doesn't share the Hawaiian meaning but is simply a short form of Elaine.
Lani (Hawaiian) is LAH-nee just as Leilani is lay-LAH-nee.
