In the Hawaiian language, the word Lani holds several related meanings, most commonly referring to the sky, heaven, or the celestial realm. It is often associated with something sacred, exalted, or of high status. In traditional Hawaiian culture, Lani also conveys a sense of divine or royal authority, as it was historically used to describe chiefs or individuals of high rank, considered close to the gods or heavens.
The word Nalu refers to the wave or surf of the ocean. It encompasses both the physical phenomenon of ocean waves and the act of wave motion itself. Nalu may also imply the action of contemplation or meditation, drawn from the image of waves flowing in and out in rhythmic patterns, which evokes a state of introspection or calm awareness.
Together, these terms carry deep cultural and poetic meaning within Hawaiian thought, where natural elements like the sky and sea are closely tied to spiritual and philosophical understanding.
