As I became my name it was chosen from Finnish origin. As our language has connection to Etruskian laguge is Kai seen to be originated from there (Etruskian; Cae, Cai...Roman version Caius). Exact meening is not known as Etruskian laguge is not known. Famous namebearer is an etruskian hero. Skandinavian Kaj has different origin meaning "harbour".

My sister's name shortens to Kai... that is short (for her at least) for Kaiulani... which is the name of a Hawaiian Princess.

I am not sure what it means.
