Etymology: While not found in traditional name dictionaries, Miliani likely derives from or was inspired by names like 'Mele' (Hawaiian for song or chant) or 'Malia' (a form of Mary meaning beloved), combined with a lyrical suffix '-ani' common in Pacific Island names meaning 'heavenly' or 'grace'. Alternatively, it may be a creative respelling of names like Milana or Emeliani.
