Meaning and origin of Chyanne
Chyanne is a Native American name that is usually said to mean “variant of Cheyenne, a Native American nation”.
Chyanne is a spelling of Cheyenne, the name of a Native American nation of the Great Plains. The English name comes from a Dakota word usually explained as "people of a different speech"; the Cheyenne call themselves Tsitsistas. The name also belongs to the capital of Wyoming. As a given name, Cheyenne became popular in the late twentieth century, and many spellings followed. It is said shy-AN. Cheyanne, Shyanne and Shianne are related spellings. Parents should know that some Native Americans are uncomfortable with tribal names used as baby names, a view worth considering.
