From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Which was originally, and often still is, used as a pet-form of Frances, but which has also, in late C17—20, been considered as wholly independent: though etymologically it is obviously the same, for it means ‘free’, ‘frank’: see Frances. ‘By an odd caprice, it has lately been adopted in both France and Germany instead of their national contractions (Fanchon, Fanchette; Franze)’, says Charlotte Yonge in 1884; in 1905, Helena Swan remarks that ‘it is now falling out of favour in England’—but the process seems to be somewhat slow.
