Schuylia Origin and Meaning

The name Schuylia is a girl's name.

Schuylia is a feminine given name that appears to be a variant or feminized form of the Dutch and German surname Schuyler (also spelled Schuyler). The name Schuyler originated from the Dutch word 'schuiler,' meaning 'shelter' or 'one who takes shelter.' Schuylia is a rare and distinctive name that maintains the elegant sound of its origin while adding a feminine touch with the '-ia' ending. While not commonly used, it might appeal to parents looking for a unique name with historical connections to Dutch heritage. The name carries an aristocratic feel, possibly influenced by the prominent Schuyler family in early American history.
