No.

What does Skeið mean?

A skeið is a type of Scandinavian viking-age warship. They were the largest type of longship, having 30 or more rowing benches.

The name skeið means "slider" in Old Norse, possibly referring to the high speed of these ships. This word is cognate with the modern English word "sheath", via Old English word scēaþ meaning the same, and having the Proto-Indo-European root *skei- meaning "to cut or split".

The name can be anglicized to "skeid", however the original Old Norse word would have been pronounced like the English word "scathe", which is also how the name of this library should be pronounced.
