Francis’s name day is observed on October 4th in both Latvia and the USA.
Francis is a traditionally masculine name with roots in the Italian surname 'Franceschi', derived from the Germanic tribe the Franks. It gained prominence through Saint Francis of Assisi and is popular in Catholic countries like Italy, Spain, and Portugal. While its peak popularity in the US was in the early 20th century, it remains a consistently used, classic name, often as a middle name. The name evokes a sense of quiet strength, intellectual curiosity, and understated elegance. It’s overwhelmingly male, though rare feminine variations exist, and its name day is celebrated on October 4th.
