"Fra" is the abbreviation of "frater", which is the Latin for "brother", which is in fact the origin of "friar" as well, and one sees it in Italian especially as an abbreviation of "friar", viz. Fra. Angelico.

However, one also encounters it in the context of fraternal organizations like Freemasonry, where it crops up as an abbreviation for "frater" without any pretense of membership in religious orders. This usage is most frequently found in esoteric fraternities, e.g. the Golden Dawn.
