Nationality of surname french?

Most surnames that have an obvious meaning, will in fact have that obvious meaning. French is an English word, meaning 'person from France'. So a common origin for the surname French would be from a French family living in an English-speaking region. Many Huguenots fled to London between the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Centuries, fleeing French religious persecution: French is a common name among their descendents. Like any other surname, the obvious answer isn't always the correct one. You need to research your family history to be sure (when was the surname first adopted? is this the original surname?). But the obvious origin is the place to start.
