Meaning and background
The story behind Chyna
Chyna has a professional-wrestling namesake association documented by WWE. Its remembrance page identifies her within the company's performers and records the nickname Ninth Wonder of the World. That establishes a specific public-persona connection rather than a literal meaning for the spelling. A dog owner may choose Chyna as a tribute or for another personal reason; the source does not justify silently changing it to China or assigning a geographical etymology.
