Chelsah Origin and Meaning

The name Chelsah is a girl's name.

Chelsah is a modern feminine name variant of Chelsea, which originally referred to a district in London whose name meant 'landing place for chalk or limestone' in Old English. This alternative spelling with an 'h' ending gives the traditional name a contemporary twist while maintaining its pronunciation. Chelsea gained popularity as a given name in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, with various spelling variations emerging later. Chelsah remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a familiar name with a unique presentation. The name carries associations with sophistication and style, partly due to the affluent London neighborhood and the popularity of Chelsea Clinton in American culture.
