Frances is the English form of the Late Latin name Franciscus meaning "Frenchman", whichi s ultimately from the Germanic tribe of the Franks. The distinction between masculine and feminine spellings didn't arise until the 17th century. I have a slight crush on Francis for a girl as well—I follow a British mum who has a daughter called Francis. So cute!

For me, Frances is vanilla scented candles, laughter, and old clothbound childrens books.
