You could go with the OE pronunciation — YEEzela, (OE 'G' is pronounced as modern 'y' before front vowels such as 'i'); the other authentic pronunciation would be similar to Gazelle (rhyming with diesel), with a hard G rather than a |dj| sound, but you may think that's too much like "Geezer". In any case the long or stressed vowel is the "i", not the "e", and it's often reduced to simply Gisl- or even Gis- or -gis in compound names.
