History and Origin
François (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃.swɑ]) is a male French given name (first name), equivalent to the English name Francis. (See also related names Françoise, Francis, François-Dominique)
French: from the Old French word françois ‘French’ (français in modern French; See also Frank). The use of this word as a given name was inspired by the fame of St Francis of Assisi (see Francesco). The popularity of the name has been further enhanced by its patriotic meaning, and, less recently, by the fact that it was borne by two kings of France: François I, otherwise known as François d'Angoulême, who reigned 1515–47, presiding over a rich period of prosperity and cultural activity, and François II, who died in 1560 at the age of 16, having been King of France for a year and married to Mary Queen of Scots for two years.
Feminine form: Françoise.
