Skylar Origin and Meaning

The name Skylar is a boy's name of Dutch origin meaning "scholar".

This Americanized spelling of the Dutch name is now used nearly exclusively for girls in the US.

While the Skyler variant remains more statistically unisex, the original Dutch spelling, Schuyler, is currently used so rarely that it could go either way, and fits right in with the surnames-as-first-names trend for boys.
