Chelseah Origin and Meaning

The name Chelseah is a girl's name.

Chelseah is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Chelsea, which originated as a place name in London meaning 'landing place for chalk or limestone.' This alternative spelling adds a distinctive touch to the familiar name while maintaining its pronunciation. Chelsea gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, partly influenced by former President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea. The variant Chelseah emerged as parents sought ways to personalize this trendy name. The added 'h' gives the name a slightly more elaborate appearance while preserving its English heritage and pleasant sound. Though less common than the standard spelling, Chelseah appeals to parents who appreciate Chelsea's established charm but desire something slightly more unique for their daughter.
