History & Origin
Yizel is a modern Latin American girl's name and most often a spelling of Yisel. The likeliest thread runs back to Giselle, from the old Germanic word gisil, 'pledge,' though for many parents the choice was simply the soft, singing sound rather than any fixed meaning.
Yizel never spread widely in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 2011, and it stayed rare before and after. A girl named Yizel then is a teenager now, so the name still reads as young and current.
