Chelsea Origin and Meaning

The name Chelsea is a boy's name of English origin meaning "landing place for chalk or limestone".

Chelsea for a boy? Yes — and we've got two maleberry Chelseas to prove it (one of whom even wrote a blog for us about his experience)! Boy Chelseas would more likely be named for the British football team than the old Joni Mitchell song sung by Judy Collins.
