A Native American name gently fading from the charts.
A female given name.
Cheyanne is a girl's baby name of Native American origin, a variant spelling of Cheyenne, from the Lakota Šahíyena — a name for the Cheyenne people meaning 'red talkers' or 'people of alien speech.'
With over 15,000 U.S. births recorded, Cheyanne carries the wide-open spirit of the American West and the enduring power of Indigenous place names.
Cheyanne was #565 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2971, but its charm endures.
