French is a Romance language meaning it derives from the language of ancient Rome called Vulgar Latin. In the 3rd century, invading Germanic tribes settled in areas near present-day France where one of these tribes called the "Franks" lived and not too long after that the area became the came known as "Francia" in Latin. It's from that word the language and the country of France evolved from.
