Cheyene — girls' name

What the Data Says About Cheyene

The Social Security Administration has registered 720 babies named Cheyene between 1976 and 2010, spanning 35 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Cheyene currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1997, when 57 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Cheyene performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 417 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Cheyene shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 29 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Florida and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Cheyene in 8 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Cheyene in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 720 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
