Cheyene

Cheyene is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Cheyenne, which originates from the Native American Sioux tribe. The original name refers to the Cheyenne people and means 'people of alien speech' or 'red talkers.' This alternative spelling creates a unique twist on the more traditional form while maintaining similar pronunciation. Cheyene has a distinctly American feel and evokes images of the western plains and Native American heritage. Though less common than the standard spelling, this variation might appeal to parents looking for a subtle way to make the name more distinctive while preserving its cultural connections and melodic sound.

Cheyene is also given to boys.

Pronounced shy-EN.
