schyler is Dutch in Origin.
Schyler is a modern English respelling of Schuyler/Skyler, rooted in the Dutch surname Schuyler borne by an influential New Netherland family. Adopted as a given name in the United States in the 18th century - helped by Revolutionary War general Philip Schuyler - it came to be pronounced SKY-ler. The surname’s meaning is commonly given in American name sources as “scholar”; some linguists instead link it to Middle Dutch schuilen “to shelter/hide,” so the sense is debated.
Used for all genders, Schyler aligns with the contemporary unisex trend while remaining far rarer than Skylar and Skyler. Related forms include Schuyler (traditional), Skylar, Skyler, and less common Schylar or Skylor; short form Sky is frequent. The name saw a surge in late 20th-century U.S. usage under the Skylar/Skyler spellings, while Schyler offers an idiosyncratic, heritage-tinged variant.
