Chayenne is in Origin.
Chayenne is a modern respelling of Cheyenne, an ethnonym and place-name taken into English via French from a Dakota/Lakota term sahiyena. The exact etymology is debated; common glosses include little Sahiya or little Cree, leading to the broader sense people of a different language. As a personal name it therefore carries associations with the Cheyenne Nation and, secondarily, with the city of Cheyenne, Wyoming.
As a given name, Chayenne emerged in late-20th-century usage, following the rise of Cheyenne in the United States and Canada during the 1980s-1990s. It is unisex but used predominantly for girls, and the Chayenne spelling is especially seen in the Netherlands and German-speaking countries. Variants and related spellings include Cheyenne, Cheyanne, Cheyann(e), Shyanne, and Shyann. Common short forms are Chey and Chay. Note that the similar-looking Chayanne (stage name of a Puerto Rican singer) has a separate origin.
