Meaning & History

Dutch form of François. In Dutch, fransoos (same etymology) also means "Frenchman". It's actually a mild ethnic slur, which is why the name Fransoos eventually fell out of use (sometime in the early 20th century).

A known bearer of this name was the Dutch war criminal Fransoos "Frans" Lammers (1899-1971).
