Franciska is the Hungarian feminine form of Franciscus. It means “Franco” or “belonging to the people of the Franks.” The Franks were known for their independence and sense of freedom, as back in medieval times, they were the only people with the rights of free citizens. The word frank has evolved, and today, it means “sincere” or “true.” Franciska will serve as a lovely reminder that baby is free and full of potential to carve their own path in the world.
