The history of the first name Shyanne

The name Shyanne is a modern spelling variation of the French name Cheyenne, which derives from the word "Shai-ena" meaning "people of a different speech" in the Algonquian language spoken by the Cheyenne Native American tribe. The Cheyenne were nomadic Plains Indians who lived in the Great Plains region of North America.

The name Cheyenne was first recorded in the mid-18th century, referring to the indigenous tribe. Over time, it transitioned into use as a feminine given name, likely influenced by the romanticization of Native American culture in literature and popular culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

One of the earliest recorded uses of Cheyenne as a given name was in the 1878 novel "The Squaw" by Bret Harte, where a character was named Cheyenne. However, it remained an uncommon name until the mid-20th century when it gained popularity as a feminine given name in the United States.

Notable individuals with the name Shyanne include Shyanne Martyn (born 1993), an American singer-songwriter; Shyanne Somers (born 1977), an American actress and model; and Shyanne Staunton (born 1985), an American professional wrestler.
