Franes is a unique, gender-neutral given name of Latin origin, derived from Francis, which means 'free' or 'French'. It was popularized by Saint Francis of Assisi, a Catholic friar known for his simplicity and love towards nature. The name Franes has been used interchangeably with Francis throughout history, but it gained traction in the late 20th century as a distinct choice.
"Frances was quite popular in 1942 with five births that year."
