History & Origin

Charlsey is a modern American girl's name built from Charles with a -ey ending, and it is also heard as a spelling cousin of Chelsea. Charles descends from a Germanic root meaning 'free man.' The name appears in late-twentieth-century records and was always a minor, surname-flavored choice.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the mid-1990s. A girl named Charlsey then is around thirty today.

Did you know? The name sits between two families at once: the Charl- of Charlotte and Charlene, and the -sey sound of Chelsea and Kelsey - which is likely why parents reached for it.
