From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franchi is an historic surname that can be traced to the Republic of Genoa, where it was a name of nobility. Due to its preeminence it spread to surrounding nations and, due to its pronunciation, has thus been rendered as Franquis and Franquiz in parts of Spain.[1]: 5 People with the name, and things named after them, include:
