France is both a given name and a French, Czech or Slovene surname. In France, it may derive from an ethnic name for an inhabitant of the country; a variant is Lafrance. In the Czech Republic, the surname may relate to the word Franc. In Slovenia, France may derive from the personal name "France", a vernacular form of "Francišek", Latin Franciscus ("Francis"). It may also be an Americanized spelling of the German surname "Franz".
Late Old English, from Old French France, from Medieval Latin Francia, from Francus "a Frank" (see Frank). Old English had Franc-rice "kingdom of the Franks," more commonly Franc-land.
From the French name France, from Germanic word Frank, means: free man, from France, frenchman.
