Where Gisele is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Gisele has been most common in Maine (4.2×), California (3×), and Louisiana (2.3×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.42×).

3,086 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
