Chelese

Chelese is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Chelsea. The original Chelsea derives from an Old English place name meaning 'landing place for chalk or limestone.' This alternative spelling maintains the same pronunciation while giving the name a more distinctive appearance. While Chelsea gained significant popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, partly due to recognition from the affluent London district and later from celebrities, Chelese remains a much rarer variant. The name has a modern, elegant sound with its soft 'ch' beginning and flowing 's' ending. This spelling variation might appeal to parents who appreciate the sound and style of Chelsea but desire something slightly more unique.

Pronounced che-LEEZ.

As of October 2026, Chelese ranked #14593 in US births in 1998 SSA, peaked at #8179 in 1993.
