Chyna is English in Origin.
Chyna is a modern English given name, a creative respelling of China, the geographic name. The place-name China in English entered via Persian/Arabic Cin/Chin from Sanskrit Cina, likely referencing the Qin dynasty; as a personal name it therefore carries a toponymic sense, from or relating to China. It is used primarily as a feminine name in the Anglophone world.
In the United States it rose to prominence in the late twentieth century, with a marked surge in the late 1990s and early 2000s, boosted by pop-culture figures such as the professional wrestler Chyna (Joanie Laurer) and singer Chynna Phillips. Variant spellings include China (standard) and Chynna. The styling with y aligns with broader contemporary naming trends favoring distinctive orthography. Nicknames sometimes include Chi or Chy. Usage today is moderate and stylistically modern, often chosen for its bold, worldly flair.
