What does French mean?
/fɹɛnt͡ʃ/1 syllable

French describes the people, language, and culture of France, from Old French franceis, ultimately tied to Francus, the Latin name for the Franks, the Germanic people whose kingdom became France. As a pet name it's most often a nod to the French Bulldog.

Simple and stylish, French suits a companion with a bit of Parisian flair - understated, a little chic, and easy to love.
