No it derives from the name of a confederation of different Germanics which came to be known as the Franks. The word Frank itself has had any number of suggested original meanings ranging from "free" to "javelin" to "fierce." Ultimately, until historical methods catch up with the archeology we'll never really know what "Frank" really means.
