Kehlani is from the Hawaiian — possibly a modern combination meaning sea and sky. Kehlani (Kehlani Ashley Parrish, born 1995) — American R&B singer; You Should Be Here mixtape (2015) — Grammy Award nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album (2016); SweetSexySavage (2017) — debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart; It Was Good Until It Wasn't (2020); collaborated with Cardi B (Ring), Justin Bieber (Get Used to It), Charlie Puth (Done for Me), and Calvin Harris; over 13 million monthly Spotify listeners; one of the most-influential American R&B artists of the 2010s. Kehlani's daughter Adeya Nomi (born 2019). Kehlani Parrish-Wager — modern American figure. Kehlani Bay — Hawaiian geographic reference. Kehlani's musical style has been credited with helping define the alt-R&B sound of the late 2010s alongside SZA, H.E.R., and Summer Walker.
Kehlani does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Kehlani reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
