French and English: of Germanic origin, derived from the vocabulary element gisil pledge. It was a common practice in medieval Europe to leave children as pledges for an alliance, to be brought up at a foreign court, and the name may be derived as a byname from this practice. This was the name by which the wife of Duke Rollo of Normandy (c.860–c.930) was known. She was a daughter of Charles the Simple of France, and may indeed have been offered to Rollo as a pledge for their truce in 911. On her account the name enjoyed considerable popularity in France from an early period. Gisela was also the name of the wife (c.995–c.1085) of King Stephen I of Hungary. She was a Bavarian princess, noted for her Christian faith and her good works. Use of the name in English-speaking countries is much more recent, and is due mainly to the ballet Giselle (first performed in 1841).
