Gisele is in Origin.
Gisele is the Portuguese and modern English spelling of a medieval Germanic name deriving from Old High German gīsal "pledge, hostage" (a person given as surety), hence the sense "pledge" or "oath." It entered Romance languages through Frankish influence, yielding French Gisèle and later the popular double-L form Giselle. The German and Spanish form is Gisela, while Italian often uses Gisella.
The name was borne by early medieval nobility across Central Europe, notably several princesses and queens named Gisela, including the Bavarian-born queen of Hungary, Gisela (Gizella), which aided its prestige. It resurfaced internationally in the 19th century alongside the Romantic ballet Giselle (1841) and found broader Anglophone use in the 20th century. Today Gisele is familiar worldwide, helped by Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen. Variants and diminutives include Giselle, Gisèle, Gisela, Gisella, Gizella, and Gisa; all share the core meaning of "pledge."
