History & Origin
Shayanne is a coined girls' name from the late 1980s that carries two readings. One takes it as Shay plus Anne, the Hebrew name meaning 'grace'; the other treats it as a soft respelling of Cheyenne, the name of a Native American people. Both are plausible, so we note the uncertainty rather than pick one.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in the late 1990s. A girl named Shayanne then is in her twenties now, from a generation fond of Shay- and Cheyenne-style names.
