How to Pronounce Chelise
Pronounced shuh-LEES /ʃəˈliːs/Low
Meaning: Chelise reads as a modern name most plausibly blending Chelsea with a Lise or -ise ending, or standing as a form of Cherise. Chelsea is an English place name meaning a landing place for chalk or limestone, while Lise is a short form of Elisabeth. The two routes give slightly different backgrounds, so we present Chelise as a coinage and flag the uncertainty.Low
