As a variant of Cheyenne, Cheyanne is a girl's name of Native American Sioux origin. Stemming from Lakota and Dakota roots with a dash of Canadian French influence, several theories over the years have tried to determine Cheyenne's precise meaning. It's said to stem from the word šahiyena, and some possible meanings include "red speakers," "speaker of an alien language," "little Cree," and "rabbit." Cheyanne can be chosen as a celebration of the Indigenous people of North America or in honor of baby's proud heritage.
