What is the history of the last name "French" not the ethnicity but the word.?

My last name is "French", and I was told it is an Irish last name but also have been told its German. I am very curious to know the history of the people with the last name French. If anyone could help that would be great.

What is the history of the last name "French" not the ethnicity but the word.?
There are people with the name of England.


Believe it, any such persons were named after the country; many after they immigrated to another country.
