What does the enchanting name "Skye" (Pronounced sky-ah) mean? It could be from the wing-like shape of the island, since skeitos/sgiath means wing. Or it could be from the Celtic skia and neach (sword people) from the root word "sci" meaning cut, since the coastline has rugged and ragged slashes of sealochs and bays. It could even be taken from the days of Norse occupation, "sky" to mean a cloud island.
