Skyllar Origin and Meaning

The name Skyllar is a girl's name.

Skyllar is a feminine name that represents a modern, creative spelling variant of Skylar, which itself emerged as a variant of the Dutch surname Schuyler meaning "scholar" or "shelter." This contemporary adaptation features a doubled 'l' that gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining the popular sound. The name evokes images of limitless blue skies and has an airy, nature-inspired quality that appeals to many parents. Though less common than the Skylar spelling, Skyllar offers the same trendy, unisex appeal with a slightly more unique presentation. The name has gained modest popularity since the 1990s, appreciated for its fresh sound, natural associations, and modern feel.
