Erskyne is Scottish in Origin.

Erskyne is a modern respelling of the Scottish toponymic name Erskine, taken from the settlement on the River Clyde in Renfrewshire. The place-name likely stems from early Brittonic (Cumbric) elements, with an uncertain but commonly proposed sense of "projecting height" or "high ridge," referring to the elevated ground above the river.

Used first as a surname, it is tied to the powerful Erskine family, later Earls of Mar, and to noted Presbyterian figures Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine. As a given name it arose in the 18th-19th centuries through the Scottish custom of using family surnames as forenames and spread modestly across the English-speaking world; well-known bearers include the novelist Erskine Caldwell and statesman Erskine Bowles. Variant spellings include Erskine, Erskin, Erskyn, and Erskynne; rare feminine elaborations like Erskina occur. The name's sense evokes a dweller from the high place.
