Chyenne

Chyenne is an alternative spelling of Cheyenne, a name derived from the Native American tribe. The Cheyenne people, whose name in their Algonquian language means 'red speakers' or 'strangely speaking people,' have historically lived in the Great Plains region. This variant spelling maintains the same pronunciation while offering a more distinctive look. Chyenne emerged in popularity during the late 20th century when parents began seeking names with indigenous origins and cultural significance. The name conveys strength and natural beauty with connections to American heritage. While less common than the traditional spelling, Chyenne has maintained consistent usage, particularly in North America.

Chyenne is also given to boys.

Pronounced shy-EN.
