No, it hasn't. At the time of the Roman Empire, it was called 'Gaul' in reference to the Gaulish tribes living there.

The rising of the Frankish tribe at the time and after the fall of the roman empire slowly changed the name, in reference to the Franks.

A few examples:

In 843: Francie occidentale

(in English "West Francia" or the West Frankish Kingdom")

in 1190: From "Roi des Francs" to "Roi de France"

(from the Latin reference to the king as rex Franciæinstead of rex Francorum)

in 1205: Royaume de France

(from the Latin reference to the king as regnum Franciæ)
