Chelsia Origin and Meaning

The name Chelsia is a girl's name.

Chelsia is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Chelsea, which originally referred to a district in London whose name meant 'landing place for chalk or limestone' in Old English. This alternate spelling offers a softer, more feminine appearance while maintaining the recognizable sound of the original. Chelsia emerged in popularity during the late 20th century when place names became fashionable for baby girls. Though less common than Chelsea, which peaked in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s in the United States, Chelsia offers a slightly distinctive quality while remaining familiar. The name carries associations of sophistication and modernity, reflecting its urban English origins.
