Origin: German
Meaning: Free
To be frank is to feel free to express yourself and be upfront in life. The name Frank is of German origin and means "free," and is a diminutive of Francis and Franklin. This liberating title may sound a bit formal for baby, but a cute nickname like Frankie makes it ideal for adorable little ones. Frank, with its monosyllabic decisiveness, sounds like its meaning and has a strong, composed vibe to it that baby can grow into over the years. It is also the name of a unique Irish film, directed by the Oscar-nominated Lenny Abrahamson of Normal People and Room fame, starring Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson.
