History & Origin

Skylo has no inherited history — it is a contemporary American coinage. Its first element is the everyday word sky, borrowed into English from Old Norse ský, which meant 'cloud'. The -lo close echoes Milo, Arlo and Marlo, currently among the most fashionable endings in boys' naming. Routes uncertain, which we note (said 'SKY-loh').

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, airy, and modern.

Did you know? The word 'sky' came into English from Old Norse, where it originally meant 'cloud'. Skylo takes that word and finishes it with a jaunty -lo, in the pattern of Milo and Arlo. It is a coinage, which we note honestly.
