Cheyenne is a gender-neutral name of Native American origin. This gorgeous name is the perfect way to honor baby's heritage, especially if their first words will be in the beautiful Lakota language. Derived from šahiyena, it forges on, inspiring those lucky enough to call it theirs to use their voice for good. Cheyenne refers to the Algonquian-speaking tribe, possibly meaning “red speakers,” “little Shahi,” “little Cree,” or “Cree people,” who stood out to the Lakota for their different language. American actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson was born to perform and definitely understood the assignment.
