The FRANKS
Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.
France was named after the Franks, a Germanic tribe that settled in the region during the early Middle Ages. The name "France" is derived from the Latin "Francia," which means "land of the Franks." This tribe played a significant role in the establishment of the medieval kingdom that would evolve into modern-day France.
The three main groups that settled in France were the Celts, the Romans, and the Franks. The Celts, primarily during the Iron Age, established tribes across the region. The Romans later conquered and integrated the area into their empire, bringing urbanization and infrastructure. Finally, the Franks, a Germanic tribe, established a powerful kingdom in the 5th century that laid the foundation for modern France.
More specifically, they came from Western and Northern areas of France, for example the Normandy and Poitou-Charentes regions And they settled down and then pople started to learn and speak it from the french canidians.

The Franks.
Germanic invasions refers to the invasions of the western part of the Roman Empire by Germanic peoples which started in 406 and lead to the fall of this part of the Roman Empire. The term Germanic refers to a linguistic group which includes German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English. These Germanic peoples were the ancestors of the people who speak these modern languages. The Vandals, Sueves and Alans (who were not Germanic, but Iranian speakers) from Central Europe invaded Gaul in 406 and settled in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and in northwest Africa. The Alemanni of southern Germany took advantage of this to take over Alsace (in north-eastern France) and most of Switzerland. The Burgundians settled in eastern France. The Visigoths, who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire by the Romans, moved to south-western France and expanded into the Iberian Peninsula. The Franks, who had been allowed to settle in Holland south of the river Rhine and Belgium, expanded into northern Gaul and gradually took over the whole of France. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from the northern part of the Netherlands migrated to Britannia in waves and took it over.
The name "France" itself was given after a Germanic tribe, the "Franks" having settled in Northern France, whose kings came to preeminence after the fall of the Roman Empire.
