Quick answer
Skylar is a boy/girl name.
Pronunciation: American English /ˈskaɪ.ləɹ/; British English /ˈskaɪ.lə/.
Meaning and history
This name is a variant of Skyler. Originally more common for boys during the 1980s, it was popularized as a name for girls after it was used on the American soap opera The Young and the Restless in 1989 and the movie Good Will Hunting in 1997. Its sharp rise in the United States in 2011 might be attributed to the character Skyler White from the television series Breaking Bad (2008-2013) or the singer Skylar Grey (1986-), who adopted this name in 2010 after previously going by Holly Brook.
