Frank (given name) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frank (given name)
Frank is a masculine given name. Ultimately from the Germanic tribal name of the Franks, in the early medieval Frankish Empire, the status of being "a Frank" became synonymous with that of a free man; hence also the English adjective ''frank'' (Middle English, from Old French ''franc'', 12th century). Use as a given name seems to arise already in the Carolingian period; the Old High German form ''Francho, Franko'' is on record from the 8th century.〔Ernst Förstemann, ''Altdeutsches Namenbuch'' (1856), (413 ).〕 While ''Frank'' is a given name in its own right, in fact reflecting the Old Frankish form '' *Frank'', the given name in the United States arose again in the 20th century as a short from of Francis (which is itself a shortening of ''Franciscus'', i.e. "the Frenchman", in reference to Saint Francis of Assisi), as popularized by Frank Sinatra (born Francis Albert Sinatra, 1915–1998). == People with the given name ==
