I'm not sure what you mean by famous, but the name Frank has been fairly common for some time. It has two different origins.
(1) It is a form of "Francis". This name has been used all over Europe since Francis of Assisi in the thirteenth century.
(2) It is also short for "Franklin". This is an English word for "freeman". It probably became a surname in the thirteenth century, but using "Frank" as a first name would have arrived later.
