Skaidre is Latvian, Lithuanian in Origin.

Skaidre (Lithuanian: Skaidrė) is a feminine given name from the Baltic language family, derived from the Lithuanian adjective skaidri “clear, transparent, lucid,” related to skaidrus “clear, pure, bright.” The name conveys ideas of clarity, honesty, and serene brightness, aligning with the Lithuanian tradition of forming women’s names with the -ė ending from native roots.

Use of Skaidrė reflects the 20th‑century Lithuanian revival of indigenous, nature- and quality-based names, and it remains distinctive rather than widespread. Variants and cognates include the standard orthography Skaidrė (with diacritic), transliterated Skaidre, the masculine counterpart Skaidrius, and Latvian parallels such as Skaidra and Skaidrīte, all carrying the sense of purity and clearness. Affectionate forms typically follow Lithuanian diminutive patterns (e.g., -ytė, -utė) according to family preference. Semantically adjacent Lithuanian names include Skaistė (“pure, chaste”), though it is etymologically separate.
