Franklin

English : status name from Middle English frankelin â€˜franklinâ€™, a technical term of the feudal system, from Anglo-Norman French franc â€˜freeâ€™ (see Frank 2) + the Germanic suffix -ling. The status of the franklin varied somewhat according to time and place in medieval England; in general, he was a free man and a holder of fairly extensive areas of land, a gentleman ranked above the main body of minor freeholders but below a knight or a member of the nobility.The surname is also borne by Jews, in which case it represents an Americanized form of one or more like-sounding Jewish surnames.In modern times, this has been used to Americanize FranÃ§ois, the French form of Francis.The American statesman and scientist Benjamin Franklin (1706â€“90) was the son of Josiah Franklin, a chandler (dealer in soap and candles), who had emigrated in about 1682 from Ecton, Northamptonshire, to Boston, MA, where his son was born.
