Meaning, origin, history
Skye is an English name of Scottish origin that means "from the cloud". It is derived from the Old Norse word "Skogr", which means "wood" or "forest". The name Skye was popularized by the Isle of Skye, a beautiful island in Scotland known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. Although it has been traditionally associated with males, Skye can also be used as a female name. It is often spelled with an "e" at the end to differentiate between the name and the Scottish island.
