Answer:

Skye is a Scottish name, derived from the island of Skye in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island was originally known as Eilean a' Cheò, which means “Island of the Mist” in Gaelic. The island was later renamed to Skye, which is thought to come from the Old Norse word “sky-a,” meaning “cloud island.” hope it helps you out
