To laugh in short, light, repeated bursts, often because of amusement or nervousness.
To giggle is to laugh quietly and in little catches, the sort of laugh that is hard to stop once started.

The word imitates the sound, like many words for laughter, and it has been in English for centuries. As a noun it names the laugh itself, and the phrase for a giggle means just for fun.
