Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Franco je talianske meno odvodené od germánskeho pomenovania Frankov, sprostredkovaného aj latinským Francus: „Frank, príslušník Frankov“. S týmto základom sa neskôr spájal význam „slobodný“. Používa sa tiež ako skrátená podoba mena Francesco, pochádzajúceho zo stredovekého latinského Franciscus („Francúz“). Tieto dve cesty vzniku sú doložené; najstarší význam samotného pomenovania Frankov však nie je jednoznačne objasnený.
