History & Origin

Cheyeanne is a rare respelling of Cheyenne, a name drawn from the Cheyenne people of the Great Plains and shared with the Wyoming capital. Cheyenne rose as a girl's name in the late twentieth century for its western, open-country feel, and parents produced many spellings, of which Cheyeanne is one. It carries the same heritage and place-name associations as its parent.

Cheyeanne was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around 1998, far below the popular Cheyenne. A girl named Cheyeanne then would be in her twenties today.

Did you know? Cheyenne is both the name of a Native American people and the capital of Wyoming, giving the name a strong western and frontier association.
