Cheya Origin and Meaning

The name Cheya is a girl's name.

Cheya is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from Native American languages, possibly with meanings related to 'sun's ray' or 'shadow,' though specific tribal origins vary. Alternatively, it could be a modern variation of names like Chaya (Hebrew for 'life') or an invented name with appealing phonetics. With its melodic two-syllable structure and unusual spelling, Cheya offers a distinctive option that feels both contemporary and connected to nature. While relatively rare in most countries, the name has gradually gained modest recognition in recent decades, particularly among parents seeking uncommon names with spiritual or natural connotations. The pronunciation (typically CHAY-ah) contributes to its graceful quality.
