Francomb Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(French-Teut. + Latin) Free Man; also Frenchman [Anglo-French Frankhome, Fra(u)nchome; Old French franc + hom(m)e; Low Latin Franc-us, free, a Frank, from O.H.Ger. Franko, a Frank + Latin homo, man]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Frankcomb: Frankcomb and Frankcome, at present found in Wiltshire, were Gloucestershire names some five or six centuries back. In the Hundred Rolls of the 13th century we find Fraunchomme and Franchome. The name has been curiously modified in modern times, and thus it is that Frankcomb, Frankcome, Frankcum, and Frankham represent the early English appellation of a Frenchman.
