Meaning & Origin of Francesco
Meaning: The Frenchman, one from France.
Origin: Italian (Medieval Latin Franciscus).
A common claim: Widely said to mean 'free man.' Actually: Not quite right: Francesco directly means 'the Frenchman.' The 'free' sense is an indirect, later association through the Frankish tribal name, not the name's own meaning.
