- The Irish name, "Scully" is almost the exact word in classical and modern Greek. It means "Scholar," with the accent on the second syllable. The pre-Christian Celts/Irish adopted Greek as their second language; the Irish origins of the Arthurian tales with their textual and thematic connections with Macedonia point out the connection.
In classical Greek, the word (σχολή) actually means "leisure," which was perceived as a basis or precondition for scholarship. In modern European languages the word has transmuted into such names as "Schyler," Shulman," "Scooler," and so forth: "School-man" or "A man of the schools," or "Scholar."
- Scully (though more often skully) is a word used in some parts of Scotland and the northeast of England to mean bald.
- e.g. "He's gettin' skully." ("He's going bald.")
