The first well-known bearer of this name was a fictional character, Cheyenne Bodie, the title character of the US television show _Cheyenne_, which originally ran in "prime time" between 1955 and 1963. The story line of the show said his parents had been killed by Cheyenne warriors when he was a child, and then he was raised by the Cheyenne. That of course would explain why people who were NOT Native Americans would call him "Cheyenne", though it's certainly not a name members of that group would have given him themselves. So Cheyenne's use really began as male; it switched to predominantly female because its pronunciation with the final syllable as "Anne" made it sound "feminine" to most English speakers.
