Cheyney Origin and Meaning
The name Cheyney is a girl's name.
Cheyney is a feminine name derived from an Old French surname meaning 'oak grove' or 'oak forest,' ultimately from Latin 'quercinus' (relating to oak trees). Originally a place name and surname, it transitioned to occasional use as a given name. Cheyney carries associations with strength and endurance, qualities attributed to oak trees in many cultures. While uncommon as a first name, it has a distinctive sound similar to the more familiar 'Cheney' but with a unique spelling. The name might appeal to parents seeking nature-inspired names with historical roots or those looking for uncommon names with familiar sounds and straightforward pronunciation.
