Cheyenna

Meaning of Cheyenna

Cheyenna (pronounced shy-EN-uh) is a vibrant, free-spirited twist on the Sioux tribe name Cheyenne, and she carries the same bold energy of wide-open prairies under a rising sun. In Indian homes, her sound feels like the first monsoon breeze—fresh, hopeful, and full of promise—and families imagine her laughter dancing through Diwali lights. She’s a name that speaks of unity and curiosity, inviting a little girl to explore every corner of the world with an open heart. Though she first began to sparkle on U.S. birth charts in the late 1970s, Cheyenna remains beautifully uncommon, a name that inspires strength and grace. Warm and playful, it fits a child destined to chart her own path, reminding everyone around her that sometimes the most meaningful journeys start with a single, spirited whisper: Cheyenna.
