Chelsie is English in Origin.

Chelsie is a modern English given name, a phonetic respelling of Chelsea, the London place-name derived from Old English cealc “chalk/limestone” + hythe “landing place, wharf,” yielding the sense “chalk wharf” or “harbor on the chalk.” Adopted as a first name in the English-speaking world in the 20th century, it rose sharply in the late 1980s and 1990s alongside Chelsea, helped by pop-cultural references and the visibility of Chelsea Clinton; Chelsie tracks the same trend but remains the rarer spelling.

Usage is predominantly feminine, though place-names historically lack gender. Variants include Chelsea, Chelsey, Chelsi, Chelsy, and Chelsa; short forms are Chels and Chelsie itself. The name sees most use in the United States, Canada, and Australia, with occasional appearances in the UK. While not anchored to saints or royalty, Chelsie carries a breezy, coastal feel grounded in Anglo-Saxon toponymy, linking modern style with an ancient riverside landing on the Thames.
