French is a contracted form of the Old English word Frencisc (pronounced "frenchish"), meaning "of the Franks".

The Franks were a confederation of Germanic tribes first recorded in the 3rd century AD as living on the lower and middle Rhine who had conquered most of Celtic Gaul (today's France) from the Romans by the 6th century.
