Is Cheyanne a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Cheyanne has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 60 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Cheyanne: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Cheyanne, and how old are they?
15,200 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 15,427 Americans ever recorded as Cheyanne. The median Cheyanne alive today is 25 years old; half are between 19 and 30.
The 2020 Census counted 12,406 people named Cheyanne (12,366 women and girls, 40 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 14,884 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Alive today, by age

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Baby Boomers | 1946-1964 | 15 |
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 221 |

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Cheyanne is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Cheyanne is most over-represented in Indiana: since 1956 it was given 1.3 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Cheyanne with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 92,356 babies since 1880, Cheyanne is the second most given (17% of them). In 2025 it was given to 46 of their 331 babies (14%), again the second most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
