Cheienne is in Origin.

Cheienne is a modern respelling of Cheyenne, a name taken from the Plains tribal ethnonym. Cheyenne entered English via French from a Dakotan (Siouan) term Sahiyena (also recorded as Šahíyena), usually analyzed as a diminutive of Sahiya (Cree), hence "little Cree," or more broadly "people who speak differently." Because scholars differ on the exact derivation, many sources summarize the sense as "people of a different language." As a given name, it evokes the American West.

As a personal name in English, Cheyenne saw occasional use through the 20th century and rose sharply in the late 1980s–1990s, peaking in the U.S. Top 100 for girls; it remains unisex in practice. Cheienne reflects that trend toward creative spellings. Related variants include Cheyenne (standard), Cheyanne, Cheyann, Cheyene, Shyanne, Shyenne, and Chayenne; common nicknames are Chey and Shy.
