(ultimately from the ‘germanic’ tribal name of “the franks”, in the early medieval frankish empire, the status of being “a frank” became synonymous with that of a ‘free man’)
(hence also the english adjective frank (middle english, from old french franc, 12th century))
(use as a ‘given name’ seems to arise already in the ‘carolingian period’)
(the old high german form francho, franko is on record from the 8th century)
(while frank is a given name in its own right, in fact reflecting the old frankish form *frank, the given name in the united states arose again in the 20th century as a short from of “francis” (which is itself a shortening of franciscus, i.e. “the frenchman”, in reference to “saint francis of assisi”), as popularized by “frank sinatra” (born “francis albert sinatra” / 1915–1998))
