Schuyler (name)

Schuyler is a given name derived from a Dutch word meaning " scholar." In the United States it is used for both boys and girls, typically with the alternative phonetic spellings Skylar and Skyler.

The surname Schuyler was originally introduced in North America by 17th century settlers arriving in New York. It became a given name in honor of prominent members of the New York family, such as Philip Schuyler, and so became the given name of Schuyler Colfax, the 17th vice president of the United States.

The spelling Skylar was the 479th most common name for boys born in the United States in 2007 and the 171st most common name for girls born there in 2007. The spelling Skyler was the 271st most common name for boys born in the United States in 2007 and the 374th most popular name for girls. The spelling Schuyler last ranked among the top 1,000 names for boys in the United States in 1994, when it was at 974th place on the charts.

Schuyler is also a surname of Dutch origin.

The Schuylers lived mostly out of town, on a gated estate set in rolling landscape near Chappaqua, New York, and spent much time complaining about the Clintons’ purchase of a house in their hometown.

But Gouverneur Morris, a member of the New York Committee of Safety, told his colleagues after consulting with Schuyler, who had consulted with Washington, “I will venture to say that if we lay it down as a maxim, never to contend for ground but in the last necessity, and to leave nothing but a wilderness to the enemy, their progress must be impeded by obstacles, which it is not in human nature to surmount.

Schuyler, too” (I was also Hellward bound), “that on his death-bed John Randolph of Roanoke suddenly sat up, a top hat on his head, and said, over and over again, ‘Remorse, remorse!

But that was not how the matter was seen by some others, including James Lovell, who had supported Gates in opposition to Schuyler.
