FAQs

Where does the name France come from?

France comes from the Latin Francia, meaning Land of the Franks.

The name France derives from the Latin name Francia, meaning Land of the Franks. The Franks were a group of Germanic tribes living along the middle and lower Rhine River in the 3rd century A.D. The origin of the tribal name itself is unclear. It may come from the Old German word franka, meaning brave, or from a personal name such as Francio or Francus.
