Meaning & History

Latinized form of Greek Σκυλακεύς (Skylakeus), which is a more elaborate form of Scylax. In Greek mythology, Scylaceus was a Lycian comrade-in-arms of Sarpedon and Glaucus. Him being Lycian means that he was of non-Greek origin, as Lycians were an Anatolian people. This might be important information for the origin of the name Scylax (the root of the name Scylaceus), since that name might possibly be Carian in origin - and Carian is an extinct Anatolian language.
