Chyanna is a modern American given name, typically pronounced shy-AN-uh, that blends a creative respelling of Cheyenne with the familiar -anna ending (influenced by Anna). Cheyenne ultimately traces to a Dakota/Lakota exonym, Šahíyena, often interpreted as “little Šahíya,” historically referring to people of another speech; the tribal name today identifies the Cheyenne Nation, whose language is Algonquian. Anna derives from Hebrew Hannah, “grace, favor.” Taken together, Chyanna is often read as a stylish, contemporary form of Cheyenne with an added hint of “grace.”

The name surfaced in U.S. records in the late 20th century, riding the 1990s boom in Western-inspired and -anna/-anne names, and has remained rare but recognizable for girls. Variant spellings include Chyanne, Cheyanne, Cheyenne, Shyanne, Shyanna, Shianne, and Chyann; related forms include Shyann and Chayanna.
