Cheyanne: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2002.
Cheyanne is a modern respelling of Cheyenne, derived from the Dakota Sioux word “šahíyena,” meaning “people of a different language” or, perhaps, “red talkers”—a name given to the Cheyenne tribe. Though not traditionally Scottish, this spelling has grown in popularity across the UK since the 1970s, often chosen for its soft, lyrical sound. Famous bearers include American actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson, known for his Broadway and television work, and the name also carries a geographical link through Cheyenne, Wyoming, capital of the state. As a variant, Cheyanne shares roots with Shyanne and Shayenne, and in Scotland it reflects the broader trend of adopting evocative, place-inspired names with a gentle, melodic feel.
