Gisulf Name meanings & History

Gisulf is a Germanic name that means "pledge of the host". The meaning and origin of the first element is rather uncertain: we know that it comes from gis (the original form was possibly gîs), but we don't exactly know where gis itself comes from. But there are a few possibilities. It might come from Gallo-Celtic gaiso "spear" (see Gaiseric) or it might be a short form of gisel, which means "hostage" or "pledge" (see Giselle). The second element in the name comes from Gothic vulfs "wolf." Gisulf I was a 6th-century duke of Friuli (Italy). Gisulf is mainly used as a historical name and is not commonly given to babies today.
