Cheyenne by the numbers
In 2025, 4 babies in England and Wales were named Cheyenne. In the US, 741 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 4,865 babies in 1996, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 470 American girls born that year was called Cheyenne.
