Skye is the name of the largest island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland — from the Old Norse skuy, meaning "cloud," and possibly ey (island), translating roughly as "cloud island" or "misty isle." The Isle of Skye is famous for its dramatic landscapes, fairy pools, and mist-shrouded mountains.
Skye entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2002 and has been climbing steadily. Today it sits in the U.S. top 350 and is rising.
Skye does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Skye reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
