'Grenouille' (fem.) is the French noun for 'frog' in English. Pronounced "greh-noo-ee" (audio sample in link)
The French word for frog is "grenouille". It is feminine, so it would be la grenouille (the frog), or une grenouille (a frog). The plurial is les grenouilles (the frogs), or des grenouilles (some frogs).

You must mean 'why do some folks call french people frogs?' French people have been called frogs by english speakers for hundreds of years. It is meant as a horrible insult to french people. This is because the French, for years considered the best cooks in the world, kill certain kinds of frogs, skin their legs, and fry them up in butter, garlic, etc. and eat them and love them. The english people thought this was absolutely disgusting, so they started calling the people from France 'frogs' or 'froggies'. However, frogs' legs are now found in fine restaurants all over the world, as well as in regular folks kitchens. I've eaten them and they are delicious. Also, when calling french people 'frogs' began, hundreds of years ago, the english were considered the worst cooks anywhere, especially when compared with the french. (some say this is still true).

French people do eat frog legs, but only rarely

Edit: Nobody in France eat that, it's for the tourists.
