David Almond got the name Skellig from a type of bird known as a skua. The skua bird is a powerful and mysterious creature that inspired the character in his book.
David Almond named his character Skellig after a type of owl found in England. The name is meant to evoke a sense of mystery and otherworldliness, reflecting the character's enigmatic and ethereal nature in the book "Skellig."
It probably isn’t mentioned though…

In the book it doesn't actually mention there last name. Michael just sais 'family'.
yes skellig told Michael his name in the story. It was "Skellig"
To prove his point of being a good man in writing stories for children.Also because he never wrote a childrens book before so he wanted to try it. he thought it was very brave to do it because he could have lost his good reputation and lose his fans.
Skellig in this case( the man in the garage) is a person who envolved early and he is an angel .And the name means " splinter of a stone"Michael in this book think always that skellig is his imagination,but is real.
The name Skellig comes from the Skellig Islands, which are off the SW coast of Ireland, and which have a fascinating history.Hope this helped lolz
