Your little Schylar will be your family's bookworm and is destined for academic greatness! Originating from the Latin term scholaris, Schylar is a Dutch play on this word meaning "scholar." This gender-neutral moniker comes from the Dutch surname Schuyler, whose descendants contributed to America's governmental and economic growth in the 18th and 19th centuries. It all began with Philip Schuyler, an American Revolutionary War general, statesman, and key figure in early American history, who paved the way for his family's legacy. Just like the great Schuylers of New York and New Jersey, your little Schylar will be a lifelong learner.
