The name Skyes is a boy's name meaning "skies; scholar".

This single syllable, plural-sounding name evokes ideas of travel, of standing and looking up to different skies. With its sharp sounds and sweeping meaning, it feels like it could fit in with Ocean and Atlas, or with Kai and Silas. Plus, while the Sky- names are currently more popular for girls in the US, the surname style of Skyes could perhaps lend it a slightly more masculine quality, as in the case of Brooks vs. Brooke. 
 
On one hand, the name might literally be a spelling twist on the English word skies, to make it feel more like a name than a plural noun. Alternatively, it may come from Schuyler (or Skyler), a Dutch surname meaning "scholar". Another possibility is that it comes from the Isle of Skye, an island off the coast of Scotland whose name is of unknown meaning, though conjectured to meaning "wing" based on its Scottish Gaelic name Sgitheanach.
