Fragkades (Greek: Φραγκάδες, Aromanian: Frinci)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.

The toponym stems from the surname Frangos and the Greek family ending -ades, comparable to suffixes with -as.[3] The surname Frangos is from the ethnic term Frangos meaning 'foreigner, not native' or 'Catholic, not Orthodox', a medieval borrowing in Greek from the Latin Francus.[3]

History

The village was settled by the inhabitants of the now deserted villages: Tsanades, Strombetsiko, Christoforo and Linou.[3]
