Heaven." It seems that Billy Heagney, after
composing the song, happened to meet a well-
known Hawaiian actor, whose small daughter
was accompanying him on a vaudeville tour.
Mr. Heagney became interested in the child
and asking her name was informed that it was
"Lei Lani," pronounced "Lay Lah-nee." The
musical quality of the name together with the
fact that it meant "constellation of stars," or
"wreath of heaven," so impressed Mr. Heagney
that he decided to use it as the title to his
new Hawaiian song. He also learned that this
name is usually given to Hawaiian children
who are unusually fair of face and beautiful of
nature. Fred K. Steele in publishing the song
therefore determined to use the sub-title,
"Wreath of Heaven," as part of the title itself.
