Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Odborný chorvátsky onomastický slovník uvádza pri mene Franko dve výkladové línie: talianske Franco ako skráteninu mena Francesco a súvislosť s germánskym menom Frank. Prvá vedie cez latinské Franciscus „Francúz“, druhá priamo k pomenovaniu Frankov. Germánsky pôvod označuje najhlbší spoločný základ; latinčina a taliančina sprostredkujú jednu z vývojových ciest. Význam „slobodný“ nemožno bez výhrady označiť za pôvodný význam mena.
