Worldwide, Gísli (Gisle 
, Gísli 
) is a rare dominantly male, but uncommonly feminine first name. The forename Gísli is characteristic of Iceland, where it is quite a common male name, Norway, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and the Republic of the Congo. Very seldom, Gísli is the last name as well as the forename.
