Franciszek – imię męskie wywodzące się z włoskiego określenia francesco oznaczające 'Francuza, Francuzika', jakim kupiec Piotr Bernardone (ojciec św. Franciszka z Asyżu) nazwał swego syna Jana, kiedy wrócił z Francji. W Asyżu zaczęto powszechnie nazywać chłopca tym określeniem i pod takim imieniem znany jest powszechnie.
