Ghislain Dufour
Masculine Ghislain, Guislain, Gislain or Ghiselin and feminine Ghislaine or Ghyslaine is a French personal name used in countries with French-speaking populations. It is originated with a 7th century saint, Saint Ghislain (died 680) of Hainaut and was latinized as Gislenus. Etymologically, the name is usually said to derive from the oblique case of a Proto-West Germanic root: ''*gīsl'' “hostage, pledge” (see Wiktionary:Ghislain). As such, it is cognate with modern German ''Geisel'' "hostage". (However, one source has instead claimed that the name is derived from Germanic roots ''gis'' "information" and ''lind'' "sweet".) The name possibly became popular as a secondary given name, which was intended to give infants the protection of St Ghislain. Other people with this given name include: * Ghislaine Dommanget (1900–1991), Princess of Monaco and actress * Ghislaine Alexander (1922–2000), British heiress and socialite * Ghislain Cloquet (1924–1981), Belgian-born French ...
