📖 À propos Franz
Franz est la forme germanique de François, dérivée du latin médiéval Franciscus, signifiant 'Franc' ou 'homme libre'. Porté par l'influence de saint François d'Assise et consacré par les empereurs Habsbourg — notamment François-Joseph Ier —, ce prénom a dominé la culture germanophone pendant des siècles. Il occupait la 5e place en Allemagne en 1950 et reste un symbole du patrimoine de l'Europe centrale.
