Franck Origin and Meaning

The name Franck is a boy's name.

Franck is a masculine name of French origin, serving as a variant spelling of the more common Frank. Derived from the Germanic tribal name 'Frank,' which meant 'free man' or 'javelin,' it carries connotations of freedom, honesty, and straightforwardness. This spelling variation is particularly popular in France, Belgium, and other French-speaking regions. While less common in English-speaking countries than the standard Frank, Franck offers a distinctive continental flair while maintaining the strong, classic feeling of the original. Throughout history, the name has been associated with frankness, directness, and sincerity—qualities reflected in the English word 'frank' which shares the same etymological roots.
