      Kelsie is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Kelsey, which originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'Ceol's island' or 'ship's victory'. This spelling variation gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s as parents sought softer, more distinctly feminine versions of unisex names. Kelsie presents a youthful, friendly quality with its ending 'ie' sound, which gives it a more overtly feminine touch than the original spelling.
