A character in the book series "Keeper of the Lost Cities" is named Lady Gisela, which is one of the variants of this name. (Spoilers, but she's one of the main villains later in the series.)
Giselle Jeanne-Marie Laronde-West is a Trinidadian model and beauty queen who won the Miss World 1986 contest, representing Trinidad and Tobago. Walking away with the title Miss World 1986, Giselle Laronde West became the first woman from Trinidad and Tobago to be victorious in the Miss World pageant, at the age of just 23 years. She became the second woman from that nation to win an international beauty pageant, after Janelle Commissiong Miss Universe 1977. The pageant was held in London, UK. In that year, the US was represented by aspiring actress Halle Berry.
This is the name of a famous ballet in which Giselle, a peasant girl, is courted by a prince pretending to be a peasant. When she discovers that he is already engaged to be married to a princess she dies of a broken heart. In death she forgives him and protects him from the spirits who would destroy him. The name Giselle makes me think of great heartache, but also of forgiveness and restoration.
There is a ballet called Giselle. The story behind the ballet is a tragedy. Giselle was a loving graceful young woman; who discovers her beloved boyfriend is having and affair with her best friend. She dies of a broken heart and becomes the guardian angel of the couple that betrayed her. I think thanks to this ballet I think of someone named Giselle as a forgiving female with a big heart, and a great rspect of fidelity and faith to their friends.
