Gisella
About Gisella
A bright, musical name, Gisella is the Italian form of the French Giselle. With its zippy "Zella" sound and potential nickname Gigi too, it could make an underused and appealing choice.
Associated with the first queen of Hungary and the wife of King Stephen through its similar sounding Hungarian form, Gizella, Gisella has also been borne by the composer Gisella Delle Grazie, the actress Gisella Sofio and the author and Holocaust survivor Gisella Perl.
Pronounced jee-ZEHL-la .
As of October 2026, Gisella ranked #5986 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1490 in 1895.
