Explanation:
If we follow the way the word is spoken in German, apparently “ギルベルテ” is a more legitimate choice. However, as is often the case, the English way of pronunciation gets in the way of transliterations of many non-English foreign terms.

I found two hits for “ジルベルテ” (none for “ギルベルテ”).

e.g. A person named "Gilberte Casablanca" can be found with Google.
