Meaning & origin

Skylinn is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1997. It reached its peak popularity in 2014, but has been declining since 2015. The name is part of a trend of creative spellings of names like Skylar and Skylynn. It has never entered the top 1,000 names nationally and has no recorded top state concentrations. Skylinn reflects the contemporary practice of combining appealing sounds and suffixes to create new names with a fresh feel.

Skylinn is a modern invented spelling, likely formed on the basis of the name Sky (from the English word) combined with a fashionable -lynn or -inn suffix. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1997 and saw modest use in the 2010s, peaking in 2014. The name is primarily given to girls.
