There is limited information available about the specific etymology of the name "Shelbea", as it appears to be a less common name with variations in spelling. It is likely derived from the more well-known name "Shelby".
The name Shelby is thought to have originated as a surname in medieval England. It is derived from a place name, likely meaning "willow farm" or "willow settlement" in Old English. The Old English term "sceaga" means "copse" or "thicket", while "leah" means "clearing" or "meadow". Over time, the surname Shelby became occasionally used as a given name for both males and females.
Given the similarity in spelling with Shelby, it is possible that Shelbea emerged as a variation or modern adaptation of that name.
