ArchivesRe: Origin or Help with the name Geiselheart
in reply to a message by John Wrightson
I would venture the suggestion that it's composed of the Germanic elements gisel meaning "pledge" or "hostage" (as seen in Giselle) and hard meaning "brave" or "hardy" (as seen in Eberhard and Hartmann).

I would offer up Germanic hart "hardy"/"brave". Maybe heart is the Old English form of hart?
