It's not french, although it may be derived from the french word for dog, "chien".

Its origin is most commonly associated with the Dakota tribe word, "shahiyena", meaning "unintelligible speakers" or "speak incoherently"

The word as a name has been also assigned a meaning in English, "the sun is rising"

The most common uses for the word are in reference to the Cheyenne Indian nation of the western United States known as the Cheyenne and as the name of the capital city of Wyoming, United States, Cheyenne, Wyoming...

Hope this helps...
