      The name Chelsey originates from English and derives its meaning from serving as a port for chalk or limestone. This name can be traced back to the ancient English language, which had a strong influence on the development of regional names. In history, the name Chelsey has been predominantly associated with geographical locations that were once thriving ports, often situated near chalk or limestone deposits.
