Skylar: meaning and origin
Skylar is a variant of Skyler, says Behind the Name, and Skyler is respelled from Schuyler, a Dutch surname meaning “scholar”. Wikipedia says Dutch settlers brought the surname to New York in the 17th century. The spelling makes it look like a blend of sky and Tyler.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Skyla, Skyler and Schuyler as variants. Sky is the obvious short form, and it suits a girl who looks up at the stars.
