a proper name commonly used for people, primarily as a first name.
From Latin 'Franciscus' meaning 'of France' or 'the Frank,' referring to Franks (Germanic people). Saint Francis of Assisi popularized the name throughout medieval Europe, making it especially significant in Christian cultures.
Saint Francis changed how the world saw animals and nature—he preached to birds and talked to wolves—and the massive popularity of his name afterward shows how one inspiring person can make their name almost sacred in a culture.
