wiktionary
From Middle English France, from Old French France, from Latin Francia, from Francī, the name of a Germanic tribe, of unclear (but Proto-Germanic) origin. [1] Believed to be most likely from Frankish *Frankō(“a Frank”), from Proto-Germanic *frankô(“javelin”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *preng-(“pole, stalk”). Compare Frank. Displaced Francland, Francrīċe.
