Shelsea is an intriguing name of American origin, first appearing in the late 19th century. It is believed to be a variant spelling of Chelsea, which has its roots in place names. The name Chelsea originally derived from the district and former manor of Chelsea in London, England, with the name itself meaning 'ochre (red) bank' or 'chalk wharf'. However, Shelsea breaks away from this traditional association, offering a unique twist on an already distinctive name.
"The name Shelsea experienced varying popularity over the years, with a notable peak in 1997 when it reached its highest point with 36 births that year. The most recent data from 2021 shows a decline, with only 5 births recorded."
