In this context, it carries historical and mysterious connotations. Alternatively, it could be related to the Hungarian diminutive of Gizella, which comes from the Germanic name Gisela meaning 'pledge' or 'hostage' in its ancient context. The name has a striking quality with its distinctive 'z' sound and compact form.
