Franky Origin and Meaning

The name Franky is a girl's name.

Franky is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive of Frances or Francesca, though it's also used for boys as a nickname for Francis or Franklin. The root name comes from Latin "Franciscus," meaning "Frenchman" or "free one." As a standalone feminine name, Franky gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, offering a tomboy alternative to more traditional feminine names.
