Meaning & Origin
Sky Crater (a crater in Thule, Arrokoth, Kuiper Belt, Solar System)
Sky is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old Norse origin, from the Old Norse ský meaning "cloud" — though in modern English usage it refers to the vast expanse of atmosphere above the earth. It is a nature name of extraordinary openness and possibility.
Sky has a clean, uncluttered beauty that appeals to parents who want a nature name without the ornate quality of longer options. It sits alongside Wren, Rain, and Fern as part of the minimalist nature-name movement, and works well for both boys and girls.
