Skylar is Dutch, English in Origin.
Skylar is a modern English respelling of Schuyler, a Dutch surname adopted into American naming. The earliest naming form behind it, Schuyler, historically also written with Dutch ij/y variation, is usually connected with Dutch scholier, schoolchild or student, and the related German Schüler; both ultimately trace to Latin schola, school. Its literal sense is therefore scholar, rather than a name originally formed from English sky.
As a given name, Schuyler appeared in the United States as a surname-name, helped by the prominence of the New York Schuyler family, including Revolutionary War general Philip Schuyler. Skyler and Skylar emerged as phonetic spellings in the late twentieth century. Skylar became chiefly feminine in U.S. records after 1980s media use and rose into the girls’ Top 100 in the 2010s, while Schuyler remains rarer and more surname-like.
