Grisela is a unique, feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Gratus'. It means 'thankful' or 'grateful', reflecting its root word 'graci-', which signifies grace and gratitude. Grisela was popularized during the Middle Ages through various tales and legends, but it remains uncommon today, perhaps due to its unfamiliar sound to modern ears.
"Grisela was a popular name for babies born between 1974 and 1995, with a peak of nine births each year in 1974 and 1975. Over these two decades, there were a total of seventy Griselas born."
