Meaning and history
Maile is a Hawaiian feminine name from the native maile vine, Alyxia stellata, whose fragrant leaves are woven into leis and used in ceremonies, celebrations, and expressions of honour. The plant has deep cultural importance in Hawaiʻi, so the name is more than a generic floral choice. Notable bearers include American actor and voice artist Maile Flanagan and American novelist and short-story writer Maile Meloy. Hawaiian pronunciation and the cultural significance of lei-making should be respected.
