Etymology

Skene is the name of a small parish and village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and that village gave the family name. A helpful way to remember the place is that Skene sounds like the Scots word skene or skean for a 'small knife', as seen in sgian-dubh, so imagine the village on Scottish hills and that old local word.
