What does Skye mean?
/skaɪ/1 syllableOrigin: place-name transfer

Skye is a place name turned given name, taken from the Isle of Skye, the largest island in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, known for its dramatic mountains and coastline. As a name it doesn't carry a separate word meaning beyond that geographic origin, though many owners hear an echo of "sky" in the spelling.

It's a breezy, open-air kind of name, equally at home on a pet who loves the outdoors as on one who just has a wide-eyed, adventurous look. Short and easy to call across a yard or trail, it suits a companion with a bit of wanderlust.
