Etymology

The term 'lanai' originates from the Hawaiian language, where it denotes a roofed patio or porch. The Hawaiian islands, known for their lush landscapes and favorable climate, have influenced the architecture and living spaces of homes in the region. Lanais were traditionally used to create an outdoor living area that could shield residents from the harsh sun while still allowing them to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding them. The popularity of the lanai has spread beyond Hawaii, often incorporated into designs for homes in warmer climates across the United States and other parts of the world. This shift reflects a growing appreciation for outdoor living spaces where people can connect with nature while enjoying the comforts of home.
