France was originally called "Gallia" (Gaul) by the Romans. Its name changed after the Germanic tirbe of the Franks settled in northern France and gradually took control of the country; hence the French word France, coming from Latin's Francia, which literally means "land of the Franks" or "Frankland". The noun "Frank" itself meant "free", as opposed to slave.
