Schuyler
About Schuyler
Originally a Dutch surname, imported by the early Dutch colonists, has been all but overpowered by the phonetic spellings in the US -- Skyler for boys and Skylar for girls. With the surnames-as-first-names trend, however, and the popularity of the Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton, which features the Schuyler sisters, perhaps Schuyler might receive some more interest in the coming years.
Pronounced SKY-ler.
As of October 2026, Schuyler ranked #10778 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2361 in 1998.
Editor's take: The name Schuyler is a girl's name of Dutch origin meaning "scholar".
