Origin and meaning of Franciszek
Franciszek is the Polish form of Francis, from the Medieval Latin Franciscus, 'the little Frank, the Frenchman,' and by extension 'free man,' since the Franks were the 'free' people. Bound to the cult of Saint Francis of Assisi, the name is much loved in strongly Catholic Poland, where it has surged again for newborns in recent years. In this exact spelling it stays uncommon outside the Slavic world.
