Chelssey Origin and Meaning

The name Chelssey is a girl's name.

Chelssey is a modern spelling variation of Chelsea, a name of Old English origin meaning 'landing place' or 'port for chalk or limestone.' This particular spelling with the double 's' emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought to create distinctive versions of popular names. The name gained attention after Chelsea became a fashionable district in London, and later received a boost in popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. While less common than the standard spelling, Chelssey offers a slightly more unique option while maintaining the recognizable sound. The name has a youthful, friendly quality that ages well into adulthood.
