Frankton is a village and civil parish that is situated in the Rugby borough of Warwickshire in England. In the 2021 Census, it had a population of 382,[1]
According to W. H. Duignan, the town's earliest name, Franchtone, was derived from the Anglo-Saxon Franca or Franco (the personal name of the original settler, which is probably derived from the national name of the Franks) and -tun, making it either "Franca's town" or "the town of the Franks".[2]
