A friend sent me your quest to find the origins of Fron. In short Fron is the English phonetic spelling of the Albanian name Fran (in Albanian the "a" is pronounced as in father). At about the age of 11 I replaced the "a" with the "o"...in New York City public schools "Fron" sounded better than "Fran" for a boy. Hope this is helpful.

Fron, Thanks for your answer. Fran is listed in the database here as a short form of Frances for Slovenian and Croatian, does this hold true for Albanian as well or does the name have a different meaning there?
