Skylar, a variant of Skyler and Schuyler, comes from the Dutch name meaning "scholar," though it very well could be an invented name inspired by the English word sky and elaborated to sound like Tyler or Kyler. Skylar first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 1990, cracked the top-200 for the first time in 1998 and was a top-100 girl's name every year between 2012 and 2022 before falling out of the top-100 in 2023. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gretchen Rossi (Skylar Gray), R&B singer Kenny Lattimore (Skylar Leigh) and Peloton instructor Emma Lovewell (Skylar Clark) each have a daughter named Skylar.
