Skye is Norse, Scottish in Origin.
Skye is an English and Scottish given name derived either from the common noun sky (from Old Norse ský, “cloud”) or from the Isle of Skye off Scotland’s west coast. As a toponymic, it means “from Skye,” with the island’s Gaelic name An t-Eilean Sgitheanach sometimes glossed as “winged isle,” though the etymology is debated and may reflect Old Norse elements related to clouds or mist.
As a personal name, Skye came into wider use in the late 20th century, fitting the trend for nature words and place names, and is used for all genders, though more frequently for girls in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia; in Scotland it remains comfortably unisex. Variants include Sky and the modern spelling Skai; related choices are Skylar/Skyler and Skyla, which share the airy appeal but have different origins.
