Explaining the sweet reason for her last name in an interview with OK! Magazine, Ferne said: ‘Francis is my grandfather’s name – it’s a nod to Grandpa Frank.’
The traditional name is of Latin origin, meaning ‘Frenchman’ or ‘freeman’.
Going on to reveal the inspiration behind Finty’s unique name, she said: ‘I don’t know where I got it from but when I typed it [on Google ] I saw Judi Dench’s daughter’s nickname is Finty.
“I’ve always loved it and I’ve never heard it anywhere else before. I just feel so connected to the name – it came out and it was just Finty. I think she sounds like a Bridgerton character.’
The reality star then went on to explain the meaning of Finty’s middle name, noting that it had a special family connection.
She said: ‘Francis is my grandfather’s name – it’s a nod to Grandpa Frank.’
