Frankie

Frankie is often used as a nickname for Frank or Frances. These names come from the root name Francis, which in turn was derived from the Late Latin ‘Franciscus’, which was used to signify that the French were ‘free’. Therefore the meaning of Franki is ‘a free man’ or ‘Frenchman’. It is said that the Franks were an ancient tribe from Germany, who travelled and settled down in France. The root name Francis is said to have been popularized by Saint Francis of Assisi, who was born with the name Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone. Giovanni’s father was a wealthy Italian businessman who often visited France and loved their people and culture. Though his wealth meant that he had a pleasant childhood, St Francis gave up his luxuries and decided to work and try to help the sick and poor people. He later got associated with the patronage of the environment and the animals, and also became the patron saint of Italy. It is said that Saint Francis arranged the first-ever live Christmas nativity scene.
