Chalk landing place
Chelesa is a rare variant of Chelsea, which originates from an Old English place name meaning a landing place for chalk or limestone. It gained popularity in the late 20th century as a feminine given name, though this specific spelling remains highly unusual. It evokes the trendy, coastal associations of the London borough.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Chelesa in 2025.
