Shayenne is Native American in Origin.
Shayenne is a modern respelling of Cheyenne, an English given name taken from the ethnonym for the Cheyenne people of the Great Plains. The ethnonym comes via French from Lakota/Dakota Sahiyena, a diminutive of Sahiya “Cree,” often interpreted as “little Cree” or, more broadly, “people of a different language or speech.” While widely used as a given name in English since the late 20th century, it is not a traditional personal name in the Cheyenne language.
Shayenne likely blends the familiar elements Shay- and the French -enne ending, and appears in North American and Brazilian records from the 1990s onward, with peak popularity paralleling Cheyenne/Shyanne. The name is unisex but predominantly feminine. Variants include Cheyenne (standard), Cheyanne, Shyanne, Shianne, Shyann, Shyenne, and diminutives Chey and Shay. Meanings carried by these spellings follow the ethnonymal sense noted above.
