What does Frankie mean?
/ˈfɹæŋ.ki/2 syllables

Frankie is a nickname for Frank or Francis, names that trace back to the Latin Franciscus, meaning Frenchman -- originally used to mark someone as a member of the Franks, the Germanic people for whom France is named.

It's a friendly, easygoing name with a bit of old-school swagger, equally suited to a companion with a tough-guy strut or one who's a total softie underneath.
