The Gaulish tribe of "Francs" came to hold a large territory in Northern France and down to Paris. At the time the word "Franc" also meant 'free'. In reference to the Franks tribe, a region a few kilometers north of Paris was also named "France". That name is still existing in place names like "Roisssy-en-France". That land was part of the royal domain of the first French kings, who came to extend their domination upon the other French regions.
France was named after a Germanic tribe, the "Franks" having settled in Northern France, whose Kings' came to preeminence after the fall of the Roman Empire.
