Chyane Origin and Meaning

The name Chyane is a girl's name.

Chyane appears to be a variant spelling of Cheyenne, the name of a Native American people and their language. The original Cheyenne comes from the Sioux name Šahíyena, which may mean 'people of alien speech' or 'red speakers.' This alternative spelling emerged as parents sought unique variations of popular names. Chyane maintains the melodic sound of the original while offering a more compact written form. The name carries associations with Native American heritage, the American West, and natural beauty. While less common than the standard spelling, Chyane appeals to parents attracted to names with indigenous American connections but desiring a distinctive presentation.
