Question
what does my name meann?
my name is Francielle nd i want to kno what it means.
Hello Francielle,
Most names in portuguese don't have a specific meaning. Your name is not a portuguese word, but maybe related to the name "Francisca", which comes from the name Francis.
According to "Behind the Name" web site (http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=francis),
Francis comes from the Late Latin name Franciscus which meant "Frenchman".
