About the name Giseli

Giseli differs from Gisele only in the ending, -eli in place of -ele. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) treats -ele, -eli, -ely, -elle, -elli and -elly as spellings of one feminine ending, coming from the French -elle, and the Gisele entry of the same dictionary lists Gizeli and Gizelli among its spelling variants. Behind the Name gives Gisele as the Portuguese form, especially in Brazil, of Giselle, a name that derives from the Old Germanic element gisal, 'hostage, pledge'. The origin of the spelling Giseli in particular is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 17,774 people named Giseli, almost always women; proportionally, the name is most common in Santa Catarina.
