‘Sagar Matha’ has origin of word from Indian mythology. Sagar means ocean, matha means head. It was belief that ocean (in this case, Bay of Bengal) was ultimate result of the river Ganga (River Ganges). Lord Shankar (Shiva) holds the origin of R. Ganga in his head and the river descends from Himalayas. If one looks at paintings of Lord Shankar, the bun on his head is like a mountain peak with water cascading down, which ultimately becomes River Ganga and then ‘ocean’. So, ‘Sagar Matha’ means head holding the ocean. There is no reference to ‘sky’ and sagar does not mean sky.
