The Name הילני for a Daughter
Question
Hello esteemed Rabbi,
I am due to give birth to a daughter in four months. Recently, I encountered the name Hailani, after Queen Helene.
I would appreciate knowing how to pronounce the name and how to write it in English?
I have never heard of this name before, and I liked it very much that it is spelled Hailani and not Helani. Is this indeed the customary way to spell it? Many thanks.
Answer
Greetings and blessings, Usually, in the Mishnah, her name is mentioned as "Hailani." It is difficult to provide an exact pronunciation; if you wish, please send a phone number, and we will get back to you. With blessings, Binyamin Shmueli
