Meaning and history
Skyler is a variant of Schuyler, spelled to reflect the surname’s pronunciation while resembling names such as Tyler and the English word sky. Rare before 1980, it first became popular as a boys’ name and is now used more often for girls, though it remains more evenly unisex than the mostly feminine form Skylar.
