The original name of Skyrim was Mareth, so I doubt the name Skyforge and Skyrim have anything in common.

"These first settlers named the land "Mereth", after the Elves that roamed the untamed wilderness which then covered the whole of Tamriel." Pocket Guide to the Empire First Edition.

And I would like to reinforce Pink Slim's opinion on Dwemer referring to their love of logic and reason rather than their preference for living underground. I am fairly certain this is the generally accepted lore, I am currently looking for the source as I cannot remember where it came from.
