Gislaine is of Germanic origin, derived from the elements 'gisil' meaning 'hostage' or 'noble captive', and '-hain' meaning 'home'. It was popularized during the Middle Ages by the French, who transformed it into a feminine form. The name gained prominence in France through its association with the House of Capet, with several queens and princesses bearing this name. Today, Gislaine is still recognized as a unique and elegant choice for a girl's name.
