Chyenna Origin and Meaning

The name Chyenna is a girl's name.

Chyenna appears to be a modern variant spelling of Cheyenne, which derives from the Native American Cheyenne tribe. The alternate spelling gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining similar pronunciation. The Cheyenne tribe name itself may come from a Sioux word meaning 'people of a different speech.' While the traditional spelling Cheyenne has been moderately popular since the 1970s, the Chyenna variant remains quite rare. Parents might choose this spelling for its uniqueness while still connecting to the natural, indigenous associations of the original name. The name carries a free-spirited, western American essence that appeals to those seeking names with both cultural significance and a contemporary edge.
