Decade-level aggregation shows that Chelsi performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 2,092 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Chelsi shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 381 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Chelsi in 37 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chelsi in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 4,043 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
