Mylar is English in Origin.

Mylar is a modern given name with multiple proposed sources. In English, it is best recognized as a trademark for a strong polyester film; as a personal name it appears in late‑20th‑ and early‑21st‑century records, fitting the trend of sleek, two‑syllable, surname‑style names. Some bearers treat it as a streamlined variant of Skylar/Skyler (ultimately from Dutch Schuyler “scholar”), while others link it to the surnames Myler or Millar/Miller, which derive from the medieval occupational term “miller,” a grain‑grinder.

Usage remains uncommon internationally, with scattered, gender‑neutral adoption in North America and elsewhere. Spelling variants and near‑forms include Myler, Milar, Millar, Mylor, Kylar, and Skylar/Skyler; short forms might be My or Lar. Because the name often functions as a modern coinage, it carries no single fixed meaning, though “scholar” or “miller” are plausible readings depending on the preferred lineage.
