"France" comes from the Late Latin word "Francia," which comes from "Franci," which was the name of a German tribe which invaded/migrated into the Roman Empire. They settled in Gaul and formed the Merovingian kingdom and, if we can believe Gregory of Tours, they spent most of their time killing and fighting each other (and dividing the kingdom between their sons of course).
